Christmas 2012: The Presenting

i'm planning to buy everything online, but it seems i'm running late with that plan soon. thanks for reminding me.

there's nothing i hate more than christmas shopping in some crowded mall. there's an inexplicable sense of hate that i begin feeling towards every other person in that situation.

yeah, Amazon and other websites are already giving a max date to guarantee recieving stuff before the 25th, so move it! :D
 
Parents, wife, kids, going to my brothers for dinner so I'll bring the alcohol (a few growlers from Willibrew and a few bottles of wine), and my dogs will get something - but that's about it. My wife and I donate to a few charities through our employers (giving trees and such), but everyone else gets a Christmas card and a message of well tidings - that's it!

I don't sweat the gift buying too much as I think of something they might like and I buy it - no second thoughts, no hemming and hawing... Just think of it, buy it, wrap it, give it. If anything, I sweat the dinner I have at my house every Christmas eve more than the actual gift giving. We have some family and friends over every year and I'm the cook so it's one me. I try to make something different every year.

Got the tree up this weekend, working on the peripheral decorations now.
 
Don't celebrate christmas.

Great movie.

"Towel or VHS?"

"TOWEL!"

"You're own brother, Frank?"

"Towel...."
