I have plans for what I'm getting for some people, but that stuff is still available December 1st, so I'd rather get it then. The price should be pretty much the same, but money shouldn't really be a problem this year.

I am finished. I didn't catch many sales, but considering the kind of shopping sprees and frenzies expected this year at the stores and malls, I did it early. Since it wasn't a lot anyways.
In rich countries people buy the candidate, in poor ones candidates buy the people (and in one it is both).

I have been told not to bother this year by family, or if I really want to, just keep it under £5 per person, and likewise they shall be doing the same. It's not being stingy, but I see not point in having to buy something for somebody who either doesn't want anything, or doesn't know what they want. Hence later on in the year when they find something that they do like, I will buy it for them then as a present.

Some might say that this makes me a woman, but I am done. Finished. And have been for a couple of weeks. Why?
Have you ever tried shopping somewhere in Southern California between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Heck, it takes 2 hours just find somewhere to park the car.
So while everyone else is out getting parking-rage and then herded through shopping malls like cows to the slaughter, I'll be sat at home with a beer watching football.

I know a person who has already finished Christmas shopping. Me on the otherhand, go to a big department store on the 24th Dec and see what you end up with

Here's the list of all I have already bought for Christmas:
That's right... nothing, zilch, nada. Funny thing is, now I have more than plenty of time to go shopping, but there's not much I can do with an almost empty bank account.

Ah, the memories... The reservations manager mailed us that cartoon back when I worked as outsourced res agent.
