I’m Procratinating Big Time!!!
December 12, 2008 4:35 pm Just Random!It’s official, I’m a procrastinator! Here it is December 12th and I still haven’t bought any presents for my wife!
The other problem is that for other members of the family we are doing more of a homemade Christmas and I haven’t made those items yet. Frankly, I’m running out of time!
Thankfully my wife finally got me a list of things to look at getting for her. I struggle without a list honestly. Then I at least have an idea of the type of stuff she would want. There have been some years in our 6 years of marriage that I have really failed when it comes to gift giving, and I’m hoping not to repeat that again!
I remember one year we had all of our shopping done in October. Man that was great. I should really get back into that habit!
It’s Almost August?!?!

I am also a procrastinator! I haven’t even started buying Christmas gifts and I am definitely running out of time. Good luck on making your gifts, though, I love that people are having homemade Christmases and it is definitely practical and the safer way to go in this economy.

Procrastination is not always a bad thing - if a decision or action doesn’t need to be done early, it’s better to delay it since you will have more information in future.

I know how you feel! My wife is making my gift for the family make-a-gift party I know. That is going to cost me some serious husband points! But I do have 80% of my Christmas shopping done this year, except for the important one, hers.
She says she wants to keep under X dollars for each other’s present this year, but we tried that 5 years ago and she ended up spending more on me anyways and I looked cheap. Ugh-too much pressure for a holiday about the Savior of mankind.

We actually do a lot of our shopping online. Except this year. It’s not procrastination if there just isn’t time, is it?
Sigh. I suppose we’ll go next week. I prefer a simple Christmas with simple gifts. But it seems like the whole world is all about the buying craze.

December 14th now and I haven’t got my girlfriend anything for Christmas. Probably I won’t. We have a 10 month old baby so there just isn’t any time.

I know how you feel beaceause I am procrastinator too. But don’t worry! Tomorrow is again a new day!

Me and my spouse don’t give gifts to each other any more but we shop for gifts together (for our family and godchildren) and if we like something for ourselves, we bought it together. But no more surprise gift anymore
as we always go out as a couple.

The first year I was married we had all of our shopping done in October, and it was GREAT! I’ve tried to do it again each year since then, but somehow it just doesn’t end up happening. Certain people are too hard to shop for.

It’s December 16 and I’ve not managed to buy anything for anyone. Thankfully I’m well versed in last minute shopping (not to mention fairly proficient at online shopping)
[Reply]
Procrastination is where you wait til an hour before the shops close on Christmas Eve. I’m sensible and do all my christmas shopping in the morning of Christmas Eve

I think I’m the worst procrastinator I’ve ever met - I just try to avoid things haha
[Reply]
We are all guilty of this. Wehen I came across your post I had been doing exactly that. I have spent a good few hours this morning thinking about my strategy for the coming year and what I would implement on my blog. I guess one of my resolutions this year is to spend less time thinking and actually acting on my thoughts.
[Reply]
I’m really bad about this myself. I still haven’t found presents for some of the people on my list, and it’s two days til Christmas. Eep!
[Reply]
dont worry… i know people who dont start till the 23 or sometimes even the 24th. i dont do it because i cant stand the flood of crowds :/

Procastination is a bad thing. You never get your work done on time

I think there’s a procrastinator hiding in everyone and there’s nothing wrong with it. I sometimes have my best thoughts while procrastinating.

I think we all procrastinate in our own horrible ways! Until its our butts on the line and we really get ourselves into some trouble

I think that a lot of people procrastinate. The malls are packed with them this time of year. I like to shop early because I prefer to do so online and I have to leave shipping time. It is too crazy for me out at the stores. Good luck!
[Reply]
I think that this time of year with all the little extra things that we have to get done it becomes very easy to slip into procrastinating. The holidays can become a bit overwhelming if you don’t keep things in perspective!

Man, it’s a killer.
