LOL- I just finished up my Christmas shopping on-line. I hate crowds. W/ the exception of a few small gifts & the cats' & dog's I'm done.

Now, to decide if I'm going to decorate. since it's just the hubby & I & we don't entertain not owrth it sometimes.

Can you do mine now?  I haven't even started.  I guess I will have to do some shopping at Beef Congress.

CyberMonday, lots of good deals.

I am kinda mad at Home Depot, tried to order a Milwaukee drill that they had a special on, had it in my cart, all the way through checkout and the confirm page won't load.  Tried again and again, and finally got we are sold out.  

Well that is alright, had a special person for that gift, but will find something else.

I hate crowds.

good thing.  there would probably be more dead.  i think i could double your total.  i would start with the people cutting in line claiming not to understand english, as if english is required to understand the concept of a line.  i love making a scene with people who feign ignorance.

(also another proven method to not go shopping)

the other thing i like doing is when people are coming at each other in the mall and the "opposing" shopper shows NO sign of moving over, is to simply stop and force them to move, while i either look at them in the face, or "look" at something in a display window.

kids are great to do this to.

Are you guys serious? I haven't even thought about Christmas, and probably won't get to it at least until after December 20th... opps, I have to go to a cattle on Dec 20th so it will have to be after that I guess! 

I am trying to convince my wife that we should do like some neighbours of ours have done. The have been married for 29 years and each year since they have been married, they have purchased a 14 ft steel gate for each other. That is 58 gates, and they tell me that last year was the first Christmas that they had to think about where they would hang their Christmas presents. Sounds like a great idea to me!  For some reason my wife isn't quite as keen about the idea!

For me, one of the best ( and most fun) Christmas's occured a few years ago. My family made a pact that all Christmas presents had to come from a Garage Sale, and had to purchased for under $25. It is amazing how much you can get, and what you can get for $25 if you are persistent enough. It was a blast. The following year several family members moved away so we have not done it since.

Christmas is a great time of year. I love every bit of it ...... except for the shopping.
