Hmm, I thought it was called Christmas shopping because you do the shopping on Christmas?

I've made a start but probably not even half way yet.

I've got a fair bit of the shopping done for little things but haven't managed to get anything for the Long-Haired General yet! I'm just glad I don't have kids so no worries there.

I'm usually trying to finish up on Dec.24, this year I'm done already, and for those who I never know what to buy, gift cards make it so much easier.

My wife is having uncharacteristic difficulty deciding what she wants this year, which one one hand might be good but on the other feels like an invitation to disaster. Kids are handled, at least.

Done, but for one item.... hoping to find a particular model Rolex for the missus. A trusted seller is on the case. If it doesn't turn up before Christmas, will go with the Balenciaga backup plan.

Amazon and numerous other online stores have helped ensure I spend zero time in overcrowded traffic snarled malls. And that, my friends, makes for a very Merry Christmas.

Multicultural family...Christmas shopping is 75% done, Hanukkah shopping is 99% done. Feels good to be almost finished.
