Anybody not buy any presents yet?

[speg]

I have been holding off every week... saying to myself 'nah.. I got time.. I can go next week'. It's obviously getting dangerously close to Christmas and I havent gotten not one gift for anybody.. not even my girlfriend (which I shouldnt get anything for because she is a friggin *****************). I was just wondering if anybody else is lazy like me
I am sure no females will post here.. but I bet more guys than you'd think will chime in

Well I'm definitely tend to procrastinate and am a female. But I did just started and finished my shopping last night. I basically was waiting to get paid though so I could buy more. But since I did some of my shopping online...I had to pay more to get it here by early next week.

Stop at a local "watering hole" first ...... You'll not only get all your shopping done, you'll have fun doing it!

I have contributed substantially to the gross national budget this week.

I have only shopped for my little boy. Simply because I have no tolerance for the toy section days before Christmas. I have no idea where to begin with everyone else.
In fact, if not for my kiddo I would skip the commercial portion of Christmas this year. I'm a Bah-Humbug this year for some reason.

I am a "Bah-Humbug" every year. I hate putting up lights and even more hatred goes to taking them down in late April..... (that goes for the tree too).
If there was only some way of bein able to skip out on the BUYING presents part... and somehow everyone just magically get gifts with my name on them... that would be fantastic.
Last year I waited until the last few days as well... and I had no idea what to buy my family so everybody got giftcards from circuit city

Gift Cards

Oh.. I DID however work up the strength to go online to honeybakedham and buy a cajun seasoned deep fried turkey! That will be my favorite part of Christmas this year for sure. :jumping:

Here's an idea Speg...I think everybody should just buy what they want for themselves and be done with it.
It would be so much easier than trying to figure out what to get everyone and either probably not guessing right or ruining the surprise. Either way you can't win.
I'm so glad I'm not the only Grinch!

up until this week, we didn't think we'd be able to AFFORD gifts for our families!! We're moving in 3 weeks. Moving is so expensive it hurts my head just to think about it.
Turns out, we were blessed with an unbelievably wonderful deal, an excellent realtor and REALLY KEWL new landlords (not to mention a HAWT new apartment), so we'll be able to get stuff for people after all!! YAY!!!!

:hew:: And I thought I'd have to knit stuff for everyone again! :scared: You can only have so many hats...and scarves...and mittens.....
