“....you need to by from from a retailer not a web site. “
I would generally agree with that. Plus I’m impatient so if I went somewhere to look at something I’d probably just buy it.
But I am also not the biggest bargain hunter either.
This year I had ZERO Christmas spirit and so started my shopping very late. I did almost all my shopping in actual stores.
I think of myself as a great Christmas guy, and I love the Holiday, but over the last few years I've indulged a tendency, abetted by my station in life, to let it all happen around me, as much as I might "help out". What I'm saying is that I don't buy anybody any presents anymore. I used to get my wife some little thing, but last year I didn't even do that. Well, this year I had a huge resurgence of Christmas spirit and I bought my wife a scented candle that I saw at the grocery store. Whew.
Please believe me when I say that I do in fact cheerfully devote significant time and effort to the familial celebration of Christmas ... and Happy New Year!
