SaysWho? Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 This is the first year that I started Christmas shopping early, like summer 2023 early. And by that, I mean I would buy something here, something there a few weeks later, etc., so that I wouldn't break the budget. It actually works well if you haven't tried it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
