craichead 0 #1 December 24, 2002 So, it's about 3:00 PM CST, and I've done very little Christmas shopping for my friends and family. Should I go out and make a good effort to do some shopping before Christmas morn, or stay in and do some more post whoring? -P P.S. - I've done all the internet shopping I can do for the holidays.__ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craichead 0 #4 December 24, 2002 Quote I just got back from shopping and everyone out there is nuts. Eek! I figured that would be the case...last minute shopping is always crazy. In past years, I was amused by the chaos of it all. This year, I think I need to stay in because I'm soooo close to getting off of newbie status!

skybytch 273 #9 December 24, 2002 My son just called me from a parking lot. He had to brag a little - he just finished off his Xmas shopping today at Target... in and out in 20 minutes flat. I did almost as good last night at the same store - got everything I needed and got out of there in just over 30 minutes. Guess we're just extremely talented at last minute Xmas shopping... it's all that practice we've had... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craichead 0 #18 December 24, 2002 Finishing up last-minute Christmas shopping in 20-30 minutes is very impressive, indeed! But an important question is, how many people were you guys shopping for? Is there a technique for timing, e.g. each person gets 5 minutes of shop time? -P __ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #19 December 24, 2002 Quote how many people were you guys shopping for? His was easy - two presents and he knew exactly what he was getting before he walked in. Mine was a bit more extensive - I had to buy for a three year old and four adults and didn't know what I was going to get for two of them...
