What's your Christmas gift status?

So far I’m a little more than a 1/4 of the way through shopping. So I’ve got some working to do. 5 of the 8 main people I need to get presents for have birthdays in the last 4 months of the year.
My wife used to buy small gifts for Christmas throughout the year. And about every year I’d find something in the closet in January.
My mom used to buy everyone stockings as a little side joke usable gift. My wife started doing that also. I took that over last Christmas. So I’ve got to get those also. That’s easy though.
Edit: my main ones are for the grandkids. But do get smaller ones for my kids. I’d love to get my granddaughter a set of good scrubs but she’s still in internship rotating through hospitals. Whichever one she ends up working for may have a specific color they require. So that may wait or end up a gift card so she can wait till she ends internship.

I'm happy (and envious) that you can focus on something else. Really and sincerely, I am. But, for me, the intense efforts to remain as positive as possible against an unprecedented threat consume my thoughts and daily efforts.
So, I guess the simple answer is that I've given it zero thought. But I extend a big group hug to all who are or, like me are just trying to get through the next six days (and after). 
how long before it's Christmas all year long
me, I only buy gifts for needy children so that would be fine all year long
