I’m a classic procrastinator so...Christmas Eve just before closing...
It’s gotten so rough this year, fights are breaking out at the Amazon checkout page.
I have not yet done any shopping. But I know what I am getting for everyone on my Christmas list.
I’m getting gift cards. Then people can pick out their own gifts. No hassle about getting just the right present.
I will go to Bath and Body works for all the ladies on my list, and get them gift cards there. As an example, rather than stressing about what lotions and fragrances and soaps and candles they have, and what each lady might like, each lady will be able to pick her own. Such gifts will be appreciated, and the result is much less stress on me to get just the right gift for someone.
HULU is running a special for new and former members. $1.99 per month for 1 year. It IS the version with ads.
Sign up is through Monday.
FYI
My son just picked us up 500 rounds each of 9mm at Bass Pro. Our TV is starting to fail so we just ordered one to be delivered from Best Buy.
I’ll go to Home Depot sometime tomorrow morning to get my other son a drill.

I’ll do baked goods but no shopping for stuff no one needs.
As long as Lowe’s has their huge gift card display...I’ll be done Friday.
My Black Friday shopping days are long over, but I remember decades ago waiting in front of our local WalMart stores to open so as to procure a free dust buster with a red devil vacuum purchase. There were about 2 dozen women and one guy. We were poised at the store front with shopping carts at the ready. The doors were opening and that guy’s voice rang out...”ladies, start your engines”. I was the only woman who laughed. Told the guy that was well played. I still chuckle over that morning. Yeah, I snagged myself a vacuum and the freebie.
My wife and I have been attending a synagogue since 2014. Therefore we don’t have to participate in Christmas anymore, because technically we’re now Jewish.
These days I just send some money to my daughter in Georgia, so she can buy presents for her family, and then I’m all done for Christmas.
Tomorrow I plan to spend the day Uber driving, instead of fighting the crowds of shoppers.
We stopped at the local Wal-Mart tonight to pick up some Wrangler jeans at the “Black Thursday” sale price. Technically, the price wasn’t supposed to go into effect until 6 PM, when the madness goes into full swing, but for some reason the jeans scanned at the sale price and we were able to get out of there before 6.
The store was really starting to fill up before we left. Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a sharp increase in the number of 3rd world immigrants at these sales. They tend to bring their entire families along—grandma, grandpa, and all the kids, which adds to the craziness.
The rest of my Christmas shopping I’ll do online or at non-peak times.
