Only if you pay and come to this side of the bridge.
You got it. Side location and time?

Me too! I may get a few small things when I'm out and about but that's it. The bulk of is done, just waiting on UPS.

kinda...I don't like to decorate, don't mind preparing food and can do without the visitors...
I don't mind using my credit card so it's all convenient, but Christmas is ALWAYS paid for by the end of the month. I don't go whole hog on Christmas - I have a budget & stick to it.
The Things know this is how it is, and they deal with it. I just won't go into debt for Christmas presents - no matter what. I love to get the Things stuff they like, but they usually get one big thing and the rest are little things that I know they'd enjoy.
I do a lot of shopping online, but I don't mind the hustle & bustle of at least 1 day out in the stores during the season.

You're right! As a government employee, I'm about there myself.

DING! The whole Buy me! Give me! I'm going to impress XXXX over the top expectations, extreme commercialism, grotesque and shameless self centered-ness make me want to punch people.I do things ALL through the year, no need to ramp up and go nuts during this season. Boy gets 1 semi-large thing, and 1 or 2 smaller things. His b-day is day after so he gets 1 or 2 medium things and I am done. I get something for my parents and the nephews but that's it. I am not fond of people getting things for me either. That reminds me, I need to call my poor sister and tell her to skip the nylon jogging suit this year. I still have 6 of them from the last 6 years, I have never in my life worn one, nor would I, and her money would be much better suited caring for her kid.
