    Who's ready for Christmas?

    I am not... I just started shopping two days ago! How has everyone else done with their gift buying this year?

    this has been an awful year for me with regards to gift buying this Christmas. I have been more excited about my snowshoeing trip than I am for Christmas. I bought three gifts for my teenage daughter and all gifts are to make her trip on our snowshoe adventure more comfortable.

    I bought a couple of things for my wife. But if I show up Christmas morning with just those gifts, I will need to find a new residence.

    I have taken care of all of my charitable giving for the holidays. But the thought of going into a mall right now makes me wish Christmas were six months away.

    Did anyone do all of their shopping on line this year? how did that work out for you?

    Not me. I'll be ready about the mid part of January.

    Christmas is over in my book!

    Celebrated with the family in Indiana on 11/26.
    Celebrated with the 'other' family in New Jersey on 12/18.

    I'm done!

    Since hubby and I don't live near family, we don't celebrate any holidays on our own (by choice). Not even gifts (by choice also).

    I edited the above... too much information, I believe! And, no I am not suicidal... in fact, I haven't felt this good in 5 years! Even with the turmoil in my life, but who doesn't have turmoil?

    I really hate all the gift buying craziness that comes with this holiday. If I had it my way, no one in my family would exchange gifts. I've been trying this since I was 13. No one is even religious, well maybe MIL, so it's just about obligatory gifts.

    Ya, I'm the Poofy Afros. I'm so pissed cause my team should be doing better than it is. I don't know why I'm 1-7 on the week so far - I have good players (B. Davis, Camby, Maggette, McGrady).

    Just recently I dumped Boozer for Raja Bell. A good choice I think.

Which means there is more $$ for me to spend on clothes after the holidays! Well, I might get her something and mail it, or something... its kinda depressing really, but, what can you do?

    Long and the short of it... Its much like a Shakespeare play in that there is tragedy, romance, heartache, anger, torment, etc, etc... End of story!

    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    I'm all ready for Christmas. Everything is bought and paid for. Did 90% of my shopping over the internet the week BEFORE Thanksgiving. I have to say, shopping over the internet is the only way to fly

    Good to see Superriffic S* back on the forum.

    For me its the old adage. Yup, I will be as surprised as the people opening the gifts. I guess I better get a few things......I hate shopping.

    I cleaned up on my wife's XMas list last night and even swung by a pal's house for a drink, all under 3 hours. I'm starting to feel untouchable...
