I've finished all my shopping and it feels great, but a little part of me feels guilty because I did most of it online for the first time ever. I'm not a mall person, and the weather has been too nasty to browse from shop to shop. So this year I guess I missed the spirit of holiday shopping and the crowds and the Christmas music etc. Maybe next year...........

I just had an argument about this with someone last night... I finished all of mine online, and was proud of it... She thinks its part of the holiday spirit to be out there shopping...
Not for me... With the shopping part taken out of the picture, you can concentrate on really thinking about the other person's gift -- as opposed to just getting something for someone because that store is not crowded....
And the Amazon (and other stores) wishlists make things easy to find out what people actually want

Well, now that I have the time and all the shopping's done I'm gonna concentrate on baking this year. Planning to fry up a mountain of strufoli which I haven't gotten around to for years.
Thank goodness for Overstock.com

I did all my shopping on-line and also bought "gift certificates" to some family in New York. Never can think of what to buy for so many people. One of our sons is having a baby, so we bought a gift certificate for them to Babies R Us, our one daughter we sent a gift certificate to Lowe's as she's doing alot of renovating on her house. It may not seem like I'm in the Christmas spirit, but I made it easier this year for myself and at least I know they can buy what they want.
