Have you started your holiday shopping yet? And no . . . that bag of Halloween candy you already ate doesn’t count. A new poll found 16% of Americans . . . or around one in six . . . have already started shopping for the holidays.

Another 14% plan to start in October . . . 28% said November . . . and 15% won’t start shopping until December. That includes 3% of Americans who won’t buy anything until the WEEK of Christmas. Men are twice as likely as women to wait until the last minute.
