A Quarter of Us Still Haven't Started Our Holiday Shopping This Season

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? The biggest shopping days of the year are behind us but a solid number of us STILL haven't started our holiday shopping.

Someone polled 12,000 Americans and asked when they normally start buying presents. Close to a quarter said not until December 1st at the very earliest.

16% said the first half of December, and 7% said the second half. So that's 23%. Another 10% said they don't usually buy gifts at all.

The same percentage of Americans are super-early shoppers. 23% start buying in September or earlier. That includes 15% who shop year-round.

 Around one in four women are early shoppers, but so are one in five men.
