Actually with Hanukkah falling before Thanksgiving this year---I kinda had to get the ball rolling. I just have to get DD one more gift and some gifts for family members.
Because DH is Catholic, we do have both---which means that it is hard to stay in limits
I'm pretty much done shopping too. I only buy Hanukkah gifts for my mom and sisters. I got lots of scarves, sandals, earrings and opi nail polishes this year and I'll just give them a bunch of stuff. DH is Catholic too, so Christmas is what we celebrate in our home, but we still go to my moms house for a big Hanukkah party and exchange gifts. I'm glad it's early this year, it's strange but it lightens the load of gift buying!
@lalamama81 one way that keep everything in check is to have each holiday rotate as the "bigger item" one---so this year for Hanukkah she will be getting her big gift---a loving family doll house; and three separate furniture sets (4 nights of gifts); tag reader and book (2 separate gifts), barrel of monkeys game and a small duplo set.
For Christmas, it is going to be coloring books, playdoh, finger paint, crayons--things that tend to need to be replaced often, maybe some puzzles, soccer ball, etc. (smaller items that are easier to find on clearance/sale)
