It's that dreaded time of year again... Christmas shopping

First off, I still can't believe Christmas is almost here. So now begins that time of year where I refuse to step foot into a mall. I just can't take the crowds, so I try to knock out as much of my shopping online. How do you guys attack this? Online, malls, mix of both?

None I just receive on Christmas!

Christmas Shopping sucks, but I decided long ago that I will suffer the pains of it one day out of the whole year. I completed all of my shopping on Black Friday. I got up at 4AM and did not stop until I had gotten all of the gifts that I am going to give. Now I am just going to enjoy the rest of the holiday season staying away from the crowds and keeping S&H charges in my pocket.

I should have mentioned I think the only thing I dread more than Christmas shopping is wrapping. For some reason I'm totally inept when it comes to wrapping.

That's what a wife is for.

That kind of takes the surprise element out of it if she's wrapping her own gifts.

You get gift bags with tissue paper for those. If it's too big for a gift bag then you just slap a bow on it and hide it in the shed. Now if you have a high maintenance wife, then hide it in the kitchen.

Ha. Ha. @ you two.

...I hate the crowds myself. I work in retail and that's as much as I can take of "Christmas Shoppers". Luckily, I work @ an establishment where I can get something for just about everyone and don't have to worry about dealing with shit like...mall parking, mall shoppers, screaming kids, and I even get a hefty discount.

A little help perhaps? (http://www.wikihow.com/Wrap-a-Present)
