Street view: Is it too early to start Christmas shopping?

No, because I'm going to be in Christchurch for the whole of December so I want to get my Christmas shopping done and dusted.

I don't think it's too early, just because you can get it out of the way and not worry about it.

I think it's too early, it puts too much pressure on people and there's no decent sales on right now.

No, if you have lots of family members like I do it's best to start early otherwise it's all last minute shopping.

No not really because you can spread out the cost if you start early.
