Have you started your Christmas shopping?

This Saturday, the first one in December, is when most people start their Christmas shopping in earnest.

If so, are you psyched up for it - or are you dreading it?

Or are you one of the smug few that's got everything tied-up already?

Not yet! It's only early December, I always leave my shopping until the 23rd and then I rush around shops trying to find things for everyone. I should be more organised but I don't have the time!

I haven't been able to shop yet...oops. I'm making some of the presents I'm giving to my friends and classmates. It's going be kewl!!!

Laura, 12, USA

Yes. I have got all the pressies I need. They are all wrapped I am so proud. Now I can just sit back and relax. Roll on Christmas day.

Kate, 15, London

I will get someone else to do all the hard work!

Luke, 14, Ashford

I wish I could start my crimbo shopping, but I don't have much money.

Megan, 14, Merseyside

Course I have. I have beaten the Christmas rush and I got nearly all my presents for an amount I never thought I would have spent.

Holly, 14, Derby

No, I haven't even thought about what I want to buy yet!

Lee, 9, Bracknell

No!! I know what I want but I haven't thought about buying yet!!

Will, 11, Ilkley

Yeah, I love Christmas shopping, but I haven't finished it!

Orla, 13, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

I've nearly finished! I've got 4 more presents to buy, and I've already spent over £150!

Mairi, 13, Edinburgh

I have bought 1 present so far. I went shopping today but then went to the cinema instead.

Rosie, 15, Didcot

I've got most of my shopping! Last year I got it in OCTOBER!

Louise, 12, Wimbledon

I luv xmas and I will start my shopping asap. Though I don't go over the top in spending lots of money on my friends - I do enjoy receiving presents though.

Millie, 13, Tooting

I have just finished mine! I try and avoid the busiest times because accidents do happen with crowds. So, I also start in November!

Laura, 14, Birkhill

I'm a Christmas freak! I started my Christmas shopping like in June! haha. I've wrapped them and they're ready for the tree. Does anyone think I'm sad? (My friends do! HA)

Hannah, 11, Leicester

Yep all done, I only need to shop for my friends, then I'm all ready and rapped.

Gina, 11, Bristol

No, I've got my nephew and niece presents, but I haven't had time to get any for the rest of the family.

Juliette, 14, Cardiff

I was finished 2 weeks ago and now they're wrapped and ready to give. Merry Christmas everyone.

Sarah, 14, Purley

I think Christmas is too much about presents, and we all forget the real reason for it. Presents are nice but I prefer celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Emma, 14, Bruton

I'm going shopping for Xmas prezzies tomorrow! I'm much more excited this year because you can feel the build up from the shops and school.

Gemma, 15, London

Arrrgh! No! We break up in 3 weeks and I haven't got any presents for my friends! I don't know what I'm going to do seeing as one of my mates got her first present in July!

Ann, 13, Birmingham

I haven't started yet, although it won't be much longer. I often do a lot of online Christmas shopping as well as actually going to places as it's convenient and the prices are lower.

Nathan, 14, London

I wish I was one of the few that has got all my gifts. I am dreading getting everyone gifts, I have only just managed to get my Christmas cards today and that was battling through the shops for ages! I think I'm going to have to get a move on and shop, until I drop.

Maisy, 14, Southampton

I've practically finished all my Xmas shopping. I chose what I was going to buy everyone before I went to the shops from catalogues and the internet and had it all done before December! This way I can enjoy Christmas without worrying about if something has sold out or if I can't find what I need. I can't wait to see what everyone makes of their prezzies!

Kate, 14, Witney

I only remembered today. Looks like I'll be going shopping tomorrow.

Ed, 13, Lincoln

I think Christmas shopping is dangerous - lots of people are around trying to get food such as turkey, there could be only one left and two people might want a turkey so they row about it and then they will fight for it.

Chelsea, 11, Stevenage

Yup! Just got a few more to get!!

Louise, 14, Woking

I've never had the time to go out because of all my homework after school! So hopefully I'm going to get them tomorrow!

Rachel, 14, Newcastle

Of course I have! I'm just wrapping my friends' presents.

Leah, 15, North Yorkshire

My mum won't give me money for Christmas shopping :-(

Jade, 12, Bristol

Are you kidding? I don't even know what I'm getting anyone yet. I guess I'm gonna have to make a start tomorrow...
