| Shop Till You Drop! Yeah. I know you're not supposed to shop online using company resources. But, if you're going to do it, you may as well save some money. |

I started my shopping at 7:45am.
I finished, including stocking stuffers, at 1:30pm.
I have set a personal record.

I've done the 7am-on-12/24 thing before, but not ALL the shopping. And not exactly the way I would prefer to do it, but circumstances just ended up this way this year. But as far as total time, just under 6 hours for everything sure seems pretty good

Congratulations, MJ! Stocking stuffers aren't that easy to choose, either. Enjoy the rest of the holiday.

Did you actually go out and about? I thought you did it all on line. Stocking stuffers may require being around people!  |

How many people were you shopping for? I think that will affect your statistics somewhat.
My personal best was finishing all my Christmas shopping by September 30. Of course, that has only happened one time and will never happen again.

Every year I start with the idea that I'll pick up a Christmas present for each person as I buy their birthday present. Never works though.
Yes, Wormie, this was RL shopping - at Roosevelt Field Mall (shudder).

I was in the store that's now the store that used to be the store that your baby worked in...

Six degrees of Christmas shopping.

Hey, MJ, I worked in Green Acres when I was in college (Alexanders and Gimbels.)
I think you need to do some online shopping.
I know what a hard Christmas it will be since your Dad passed away so recently. Congratulations on pulling it all together at the last minute even though it must have been hard. ((MJ)) | |
