Alright men it’s officially time to start thinking about Christmas shopping. Not quite time to shop yet but definitely be thinking about it.
Alright men….

- Start date
Fuck Xmas shopping.... I don't buy shit for people anymore. Usually it's just people passing gift certificates back and forth...
Yes for the adults it is money back and forth. If only they could get gift certificates to a SP or massage parlour for a happy release...
Asked my mother what she wanted and so getting her Costco toilet paper, paper towels and foil wrap, she good until next Christmas and has stuff she sill actually use and enjoy.
Wife does the shopping, I do a lot of the hosting meal prep and day of meal execution and clean up.
I pay the post Christmas credit card bills.
But that bill are really not a lot larger than a typical month in our household.

So I used to wait until the 24th, head to the Eaton centre. Start at 9:00, and be done by noon.
Why? I used to actually scope out all my ideas ahead of time. But back before electronic pricing all the Boxing day sale prices were set up on the 24th in many stores. And between 9 and noon lots of customer service reps, but no customers until noon when the offices let out.
Wrap that afternoon. Easy peasy.
Now its all about Amazon. Did most of it in an hour on the TTC. Just need to go get the gift cards next and all done. I pretty give consumables now. Chocolate, high end coffee, wine, etc. With comfy shit to the SO. And gift cards for restaurants, LCBO. Gets used, no need to size worry.
