Kate Gosselin Early Christmas Shopping

While her soon to be ex husband Jon soaked up the sun in Hawaii, Kate Gosselin got a head start on the holidays Monday, with a little early Christmas shopping.

The single mom of 8 looked to be in a somber mood as she shopped the aisles at Toys R Us, Old Navy and Bed Bath and Beyond in Reading Pennsylvania.

Kate has expressed her nerves about spending her first Christmas as a single mom, but it seems that she's doing all she can to make sure her beloved kids have the most enjoyable Christmas possible, with or without their dad.
