Getting x-mas presents before black friday?!? The insanity!

Generally I finish X-mas shopping by Thanksgiving but I don't wrap until the week of....



....that way when I discover I have no tape I can fight with the crowds still


Son is almost done

Daughter almost also

Wife..... not so. Folks didn't have what I was looking for.

I got presents for my parents back in february. Just because I happened to find things that were perfect. The whole year I've been hoping they wouldn't buy them on their own.

Hah, that's why I don't buy gifts for people early.

That why I always give gift certificates.

I wanted to do that but the wife said no. Personal...no. Pratical....Yes


ah well.....

It's easy enough to buy gifts for the few people that I even consider buying... Except for one! I have this one friend, and I have really only thought of him as a friend for a year or so. So this is the first time I'm buying a gift for him. And I have no idea what to buy...

I do sometimes give gift certificates, but I usually try to add that to something. Like here's book and a 20$ gift certificate book marker. Or a stuffed animal... holding a 20$ gift certificate. That kind of thing. So that way they have something from me and something they can get later.

Only if I really don't know a person well at all will I give gift cards [like I've known this person since I was a small child, but when I grew old enough to actually start buying gifts in return, I had no idea what she liked, but she had always given me gifts every year, so I felt like I should give her something for once].

Didn't think I'd ever say this, but: I think I ate too much bacon. I feel like there's bacon pouring out of my ears.

I felt that way with salami and pepperoni a while ago. A pizza with extra of both There was quite a bit of meat on that pizza
