P.S. I know this makes a lot of us cringe......but it is what it is.

There should be a law made that bans people from mentioning the dreaded "C" word before December 1st.

I'm with you Santo...........I live in total denial till 3 days before the event.

I know, I know..........Shopping is a dreaded event for most of us.
All joking aside, let me explain why I mentioned it:

It is the season of giving,(No brainer, there) and we all have those special spouses, families, friends we like to give gifts to.
Here's my universal gift to all of you:

Please don't let the most important person in your life ( In my case,that would be my wife) become the last thing on your list.

Hey..........It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
And be honest---- isn't it the best time of the year?

Cheers,
Brian

Quite right Brian

With all the pressures at this time of year and being bombarded with "retail, shop till you drop" advertising, it's hard to remember the true spirit of Christmas can't be brought at the local mall. It's also a good time to get the A into G if you are going to make, or engrave, your loved ones presents.

Having said all that...........I still live in denial for 362 days a year

Cheers
Andrew

Andrew.... you are "spot on" for the hand engraved gifts.
I picked up a dozen Key Fobs from GRS last month and I've several silver sheets for bracelets.

I'd better get back to my "North Pole"


Cheers,
Brian

Well not to make you all feel bad but my Christmas shopping is pretty much done and its all paid for.
Still have a few stocking stuffer type items and a few outlaw..... I mean in-law gifts to get. The rest is pretty much taken care of.

You see I become homicidal fighting all the December shoppers. Something psychotic happens to people here when they go to a store in December. Normally sweet innocent blue haired old ladies turn into Psychopaths in a murderous rage. Worse is it seems to be contagious.

I've learned to avoid that by getting my shopping done early.

Ray........Great insight and good instincts.

I usually get my shopping done early, too......then I love to hang out at the mall and watch some real "useful idiots". It's pretty good entertainment.
