Call me an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy, but my particular touchstone came from living on Long Island as a kid -- the Christmas season doesn't start until Santa shows up at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I do zero organized Yuletide shopping until that point, though I will pick up 'that would be perfect for X' gifts all year round.
