When do you start Christmas shopping?

I got a call from my mom today asking what I wanted for Christmas. Dude it's the 1st of September. Is my mom crazy? Do other people really start shopping this early? That's like me asking Chris what he wants for valentines(good game). Well i did tell her that I wanted some more legos so i can finnaly finish building that new drumset. Lego drumset what a concept.
