Are you done with your Christmas/New Year shopping yet?

dear divkris, i am late with my reply but yes, thank you for asking. the malls were full and it felt and looked like everyone was rich! yes i know that it is all in my mind. but it really feels very grand seeing people there buying food and gifts to give to their loved ones. being there.. observing the people, it looked like no one is hard up. but of course i know i am wrong. i hope what i imagined is all true, then everyone would have had a very Merry Christmas! ann

I am done with shopping for my gifts.I could just go to the mall later if I need to pick-up last minute gifts.I love shopping,but I hate Christmas shopping!there are long line at the payment counter.there are lots of people at the mall,and you can't help but bump against each other.it is tiring.

Yes.....I was done with everything last week and I am feeling pretty stress free right now....even the stocking stuffers are bought and wrapped.....I do however have a few CHristmas cards to make and send today...but that will just take me an hour or so.

I've made my christmas shopping earlier because i know that if i shop on the day before christmas, malls will be too crowded with people and line ups to the cashier will be so long that i have to wait for hours before paying my items and that is too tiring.

I love occasions like Christmas and New Years because it is a legitimate, guilt-free excuse to shop, shop, and then shop some more. I recently moved to the city where I live now, so one of my favourite pastimes is to window shop and 'discover' the place. My excuse is to look for presents, but the real reason is to do some window shopping. Oh, and about the gifts I got? I ended up sending e-gift cards, as usual. But, I enjoyed the excuse to go gift-hunting :)
