I guess it’s too late to get on your gift list? Although I know how to make homemade jelly...I just don’t anymore.

It’s Sunday and I have yet to shop for Christmas.......key for me is I no longer ask what people want. After all it’s NOT THEIR Birthday. I’ll start probably Wed. Spend some time poking around at the Mall...and get it all done in a couple hours.

I HATE shopping! But love Antigue Shops, Thrift Stores, and on Occassion Flea Markets....which isn’t shopping...it’s a treasure hunt!LOL....

I had to go to the grocery store the other day.

So help me, next time I either do curbside pick-up or do without.

Depends on how much you spend. I have just laid out 0.007897% of my money on Christmas presents.

I do very little Christmas shopping and it’s all tiny stuff for the grandkids. I was done the Monday after Thanksgiving. One small trip.

I write a check for each grandchild.

We have a grab for adults and I just purchase a gift card for whomever I get.

I’m incredibly lazy in my old age.

My wife and I still have some. Let me tell you. These kids change their minds on “what they want” even 10 minutes. Seriously what was “awesome” in June no longer is interesting for them. I could NEVER buy through the year as it would be a terrible christmas with Santa being a doofus getting “old” stuff that they no longer want. And the gifts have to match the Santa Letter too. What if you buy everything and then that letter doesn’t match? There goes christmas for the kids and probably ruin their lives forever.......lesser things have happened to make kids feel like they have crappy lives. lol.

There aren't any lines to wait in.

Walked into Cabela's yesterday. Bad idea. The single line for the checkout registers (all were open) went from back to front to back to front - and this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest Cabela's. Checked the number dispenser in the gun department and it was forty numbers ahead of the 'now serving' display.

I left.

We don’t bother with it. A great dinner and lots of company. No gifts. It’s a terrific bother and frankly no one needs anything that they can’t themselves.

Wife and I don’t buy each other gifts anymore. We’re old and being with each other another Christmas is a gift. That means I spent exactly zilch this year.
