Christmas shopping

I work at the mall. My life is Xmas shopping. I am hell. Favorite thing ever...

"DO YOU HAVE *HOT ITEM OF NOW*??"

"*Throws hot item under counter* All out of that one... check back in a couple weeks."


People only get that if they are rude though.
I am Santa Clause.
 
i love love love buying stuff for other people so i get so excited about christmas shopping i start in september.

me = freak
 
i just find it a good excuse to shower my mom with presents when she'd otherwise say 'why do you keep giving me stuff!" now i can say "BECAUSE IT"S CHRISTMAS MOM"

I love gift giving but I absolutely hate being bullied into giving by the season.. feeling like I'm giving only because I'm obliged to give. It's shit.

I can relate to this. I buy a lot of stuff for people year round... But when xmas comes around I really have a hard time thinking of stuff... seems silly of me to save my gift ideas for one time of the year!
 
chromelife, that's why you start wayyyy early and just fuckin stockpile! i am so giddy i have to make an extra trip back to massachusetts to assure i will be able to carry all the presents i got my mom and dad.
 
my presents also include a card for my x that says "THANKS FOR TRYING TO PUT ME IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL LAST YEAR! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! <3"
 
no, I get the winter gas hike too, but probably not quite as bad. and remember, us folk in CA are getting royally screwed by the utilities. gas prices are fucked.
 
i hate giving presents and i hate receiving presents. it's not the money--i'd pay MORE than i spend on presents just to have the right not to buy or receive presents.
