With the exception of one last gift that I need to purchase for our guitarist, who won’t be coming over until Thursday, I’m finished with all of my holiday shopping. I finked out a little with a big group of friends and got a lot of them the same thing, but I think it’s better to get any gift than not get a gift, isn’t it?
Tonight I need to wrap all of the friend gifts because I’ll be dropping them off Wednesday evening on my way from the airport to band practice. That’s right, I can’t even go to the party and watch people open their gifts because I’m too busy. Bah humbug.
Then I just need to wrap the family gifts, but I’m holding off as long as possible because Xena has already stolen one bow and riddled it with tooth holes.
I decided to call a halt to my shopping because I was starting to get to the "just one more" stage with a couple of people. Of course, as my sister pointed out, it’s not a contest. There’s no real point in piling yet another gift on the stack for someone – particularly when there are regular bills to be paid this month, too.
If you do the Christmas thing, are you finished shopping yet?
