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.

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
