Christmas shopping sucks...



Recommended Posts

But Amazon ROCKS! I've done ALL my Christmas shopping online this year, and it's so freakin' relaxing. Screw the malls. You can go online and have all of your Christmas shopping done online within an hour and not have to mess with traffic, bad weather, parking, rude people, lines, etc. Just point, click, and pay. :clap2:

I love the crowded malls, look forward to it every year.. Yeah, I know I'm nuts... I'm a true shopaholic, love to shop, live to shop... gotta touch it, gotta try it, gotta have it, then and there..

I do love to shop online, but the wait kills me..

I always start my shopping early and I do most of it during my lunch hour. I'm done by Thanksgiving, including the wrapping. Yes, I know, people hate me. But I've always done it this way and I stay away from the crowded stores now. Just sitting back waiting for Christmas to come :(

I LOVE online shopping, and the stuff shows up at my door. Amazon is the best, because of the free shipping at $25! And they carry everything - I hate shopping in the crowds with blue haired old ladies pushing you out of the way for a bargain.

it isnt cheap - I think $75 a year, but we've more than made up for it.. FREE 2 day shipping on most stuff. they may still have a free trial period. sometimes they overnight at no additional charge. I love it. just look for it on their site.

I hate shopping, I hate buying gifts. I think we should cancel the 'gift-giving' crap. But my kids won't go for it .............................. yet.

That is a wonderful idea.

We really don't buy too many gifts for the kids. Last year I went to our local dollar store and bought them some toys (just so they would have something to open). My kids are grateful for anything we get them, they are not hard to please at all. We always travel at Christmas time to visit our family so the gift giving thing is not important.

I do however love shopping and love the crowded caotic (sp?) malls. I use this time to shop even though its not necessarrily for gifts.

Well OK, I confess, I don't hate all shopping.

I LOVE shopping for new clothes at 3 pounds from goal.:clap2::clap2:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
