    There are some things I like less than Christmas shopping, I just can't think of any right now. It's like the freaking Stand-Still Olympics out there!

    I prefer to receive presents instead of buying them. But I hate Christmas Shopping, because I often do not know what to buy. What else to say, I'm a bloke.

    I like receiving christmas prezzies, and buyiong them.... besides, I like giving people decidedly WEIRD presents. Last year, my mom and her fiance got a matching pair of reindeer-skin things that are meant to be sat on, I don't know what you call them in English, when you're outside doing stuf that needs sitting like ice-fishing.

    How I am going to top that one? :wail:

    I don't really mind it, since I don't see my family that often anymore so I get it all done before Thanksgiving, when I make the trip to see them.

    Admittedly, I am pretty annoyed though whenever people don't tell me what to get them until Dec. 24.

    [​IMG] Hold on a minute here. Why does everyone assume that guy's can't shop or would rarther that their girlfriends etc do it for them? My way is simple, and no i'm not a scrooge i'm just not a hypocryte. I do not celebrate christmas because I am not a christian. Everyone barring an elite few find this strange and keep whining about it to me. Obviously this year I'll have to celebrate New Year early which is when me and my friends used to bestow gifts on each other, for my little boy's sake. And to get a certain female off my back.

    Why is it that women ALWAYS have to meddle and MAKE us by ANY means necessary do everything their way???? Or is it just me? :wail: :bang:
    Wow, could I have my very first poll here? :D
