Our Christmas shopping is done for the most part. The daughter and nieces have few requests, so the gifts are easily obtainable. We just head for the mall and stroll the stores, watching everyone else wait in long lines to save a buck or two on a "Chia" pet!
I remember the days of trying to procure the "hot toy" (remember "Furbys", Tickle Me Elmo", etc.)...all of which now sit on kids' shelves or in closets, forgotten less than a few months later? Fortunately, no one I had to buy presents for requested any of them.
Anyone remember the early days of internet shopping? Great discounts on the merchandise, but S&H rendered the potential savings null and void?
I find Christmas to be especially stressful when you are hosting for the holidays...trying to make the experience match the lofty expectations of the Christmas card depictions...
