    How many people do or did you have to shop for this year? Are you finished, or do you still have more gifts to buy?

    I absolutely abhor Christmas shopping, but luckily I only have two people to shop for, which is my mom and my girlfriend. I bought my girlfriend a nice pair of earrings, and I bought my mom some perfume.

    My dad always says he doesn't want anything. And he means it. My mom says the same thing, but I know that if I didn't get her anything she would somehow manage to make me feel guilty about it.

    I'm quite fortunate. My wife does all the shopping, I only have to shop for her and make chicken enchiladas for Xmas dinner.

    Pretty much this except for me not having to cook dinner. We don't really have very much close family anyway so she mostly shops for the kids and a few of her friends. I just got done wrapping the things I bought for my wife.

    I finish the bulk of my Christmas shopping well before the beginning of December. Sometimes I find myself picking up a gift in December, because someone drops a late hint. There was 20+ people to shop for this year.

    Hello,

    there is an interview on BBC 5Live at the moment, it is about peak supermarket. I think the reporter is a bit disappointed that there are no fights about turkey or other goods reported yet ;).

    Regards
    Gyro
