Ba Humbug
10 days to xmas and I have only been shopping 1 time, that was when I snuck out of work at 8;30am, went to Walmart and practicaly had to fight for a Xbox 360. Yesterday I had to go to a place in the big box shopping district of Winchester and I thought I was going to spend the night in the truck because the traffic was so bad. I have always been a last minute shopper, in recent years I have only been able to pull that off by shopping at 2;00 or 3;00 AM when the crowd is thin. More and more I am finding internet shopping is the way to go, but I'm not easily sold on an item I can't touch and look at in 3d. In the end I know there is going to be at least 2 twighlight trips to Walmart, 1 to get some ideas, and one to actualy buy stuff. Sunday Dan and I will make our anual trip to flood plain below the house and cut down a tree for the house and put up a few decorations thats when I usualy start to get the xmas spirit. Shopping just doesn't do it for me.

I break out in hives whenever I get within a half mile of a shopping mall between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Keith, you obviously suffer from Harrismenshoppingitis. Steve can't go to any store by himself without a major attack. This time of year is the worst, he huddles indoors not able to even get in the car. At least this is what I've been told for 30 years. Poor thing, how he suffers. I totally agree with you on the wanting to see it and touch it before I buy it. Most of the things I buy online I have seen in a store first.
