I got out today and actually took care of about half of my Christmas shopping. I'm hoping to finish it up tomorrow. I usually spend the first trip just looking but I'm finally getting smart and realizing I don't have that kind of time.
Tonight I decorated my little tree and that's quite an accomplishment for me. This is the first year in a while that I managed to actually get a tree up and decorated. One year I didn't bother at all and last year I didn't get past lights. I bought a four-foot prelit tree this year and covered it with as many ornaments as possible. It looks rather nice.
I may get some time to play this week after all.
Oh yeah...I went to the 99 Cents Store and I see that's where bad ideas go to die. I picked up some "unique" stocking stuffers: Tow Mater Dat Gum! Lip Wax (with a key chain), a 3" Scary Spice figure, Count Wonkula Bloodberry Donutz (Just for Halloween!). But the real find was a pack of six Nsync buttons (Official Tour Merchandise circa 2000).
