It's Not Too Late!!!.... Yet.

You may not have finished your Christmas shopping, and you may be stressing out about it. You do need to relax a little because there is still time before the big day. One of the most important things you need to do is start by making a list of what you want, where you need to get it, and how you're going to get it.

After you figure out what you want to buy, you have to find where to get it. For this, there are plenty of options out there. You could shop locally, travel to location specific stores, or order online.

First, I would start out shopping locally. This is a great way to help out your neighbors and friends. This would also help keep the economy in your town up and running! Here is Powell, there are quite a few local places you could shop at for a multitude of different items. There are local clothes stores such as Josie's Boutique, Reap the Sew, Spoiled Rotten, and Bushel and Peck.

There may be some things you have to get elsewhere that aren't at some of these stores, so of course, your Target and Wal-Mart are still in play at this point. But they are always packed and bustling. If you want to help out your local economy a little more this holiday season, shop local first and see what you can find.

And for those of you who are always last minute shoppers who may read this and still feel like you have all of the time in the world, there is Amazon. They offer two-day shipping that helps get your gifts to you this Christmas season. They have almost anything you could ask for, but it comes without being able to see it first and the possibility of it breaking in delivery.

So with this said, you do still have some time, but don't take that as a cushion to make you feel that waiting until the last minute is the way to go. There is already a lot of stress that is associated with this time of the year, and adding this would be just another stone on the pile. There is time but not for long.
