Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas,Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.

I have managed thus far to avoid going into a store with the intention of buying Christmas gifts. And my holiday season has been relatively stress free.

The internet is a godsend.

But now it's too late to guarantee shipment in time for Christmas (that is, unless you're willing to literally pay an arm or a leg) and I have to venture out into the mad, mad world, looking for the perfect gift for the rest of those special people in my life.

I'm having a tough time getting myself to actually leave my apartment.

At least I know what I'm going out for, so there won't be hours of browsing the discount racks or the marked up racks (there never seems to be any racks in between, at least not for me). I've always disliked shopping. I like the having, but the getting is tedious.

I think I'll just go rent a video and hope the stores I need are open on Sundays.
