Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2007 Hopefully, lest me girlfriend be adamant about having it her way (like she was with Thanksgiving), my schedule will go like this: Breakfast at mother's/sister's (depends, each year it's different) Lunch at her mother's Dinner...probably her dad's. I don't like him, and he doesn't like me, but I don't see why we wouldn't see him on the most important of holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 Nope, I meant 3.5. I think December 15 is an ideal time to start Christmas celebrations. After all, we don't start wearing poppies ten weeks before Remembrance Day, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 Why does anyone do anything? Xmas is in full swing. I saw some window displays the other day using live puppies and kittens. Seems to me they'd shit everywhere, but there was none, so the store must have been well on top of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2007 So, how far have you guys got with your XMAS shopping yet?

I keep on seeing the shops packed full of people and just backing out, dunno what its like in the States, but fuck me its crazy here in every shop you go to! I theorized about three years ago, that people finally realised the folly of shopping on the 23 or 24 of December, and kind of all went two or three weeks beforehand, and it backfired. It's probably not all true, but we've definitely been busier in this four-six week span the last two years than we were the first three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted December 2, 2007 Yeah, I kinda just prefer to do my shopping online for this reason. I like browsing the malls and stores in the are, but I don't like dealing with packed places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maztinho 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2007 I've sort of got some of my stuff in line, I still need to find something for my ex (we have a child together and we are on civil terms with one another don't jump my shit) and my grandpa. This time of year always means one thing, the further proof that my family has no freakin' clue what I like. I love my grandma to death, but she always gets me something... odd... thinking that I'd enjoy it (i.e. sweater vest, fuzzy ear muffs). This time of year is an interesting contradiction as people get cranky or uptight worrying about gifts and fighting through the crowds, but conversely you'll see more out going of kindness and a general comraderie (botched spelling I know) in those around you. Pretty neat. Fun side note, my first ever job was working in a food court in a mall starting on December 5th. People really are understanding of the idiot behind the counter who is trying to figure out the cash register as long as they know you are new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 We got a wii as a family present but we still need to buy an extra controller for it and possibly another game. My sister wants a book, so I will have to find something for her. My Wife, well I dunno, there is a ton of possibilities she likes candle sets, bath/body works gift packs...all that girly stuff. However I told her to make me a list, not to strictly follow, but I really want to start buying her different things and I figure if she gives me a list I can use it as a rough guideline. She will probably get me a video game, some movies, new bag of socks, other clothes, maybe some redskins/a's/kings apparel....I am rather easy to shop for. Most guys are. We will be going to her parent's house. Her mom is a baking machine during the holidays and bakes more cookies/fudge/peanut brittle/pumpkin pie etc etc then you could imagine.
