So who is going to be doing that? I just came back from the mall on a Friday and it was jam packed.

Bought myself an early Christmas present so I can do some Christmas card writings. :D

Please don't ask me how much it cost because I just closed my eyes and handed them my card. Didn't bother to ask or look at the receipt. >_>"

Very nice pen, quite jealous at that. I went to a shopping center near me the other week to get some christmas presents but ended up not buying any, but getting myself 3 different treats from Thorntons chocolate shop instead. Oh well. Done the rest of my shopping online and only have one person to buy for now, granted it's the girlfriend I have to buy for so probably need to start doing that soon.

I also did most of shopping online however there were a few things that I couldn't find online. Most of the stuff that I already ordered came today or are coming in next friday.

Getting a gift for the love ones sure is hard. >_<"

The pen is great! It's for my normal handwriting though. I'm still waiting for my Copperplate/Specerian pen to come in through the post.

It certainly is the hardest. The person I know the best is the person i'm struggling to get something for. I know of a million things I could get her, but none of them seem right. Ahhh well, I'll find something, fingers crossed anyway.

Pretty sure just about everything i've gotten people for xmas is from Amazon, so I should probably use that rule too :)

HAHAHA. That's a good rule. I just don't like waiting for shipping. Even though I'm a Amazon Prime member.

They lost one of my packages yesterday and I just got the replacement one today. I <3 their customer service but it was a hassle trying to get in contact with them especially durring the holiday season.

Ever since they caved in to Texas and started charging sales tax for purchases, I've stopped shopping there. Plenty of other on line re-sellers. I just ordered some stuff from B&H Photo in NY. Free UPS ground shipping and no sales tax!

The word is the Mayans were smoking "Loco Weed" that's plentiful in Mexico and got too stoned to finish their calendar. ;)

I'll be doing some shopping tomorrow for my little guy but that's all I've got left to do. He was undecided on what he wanted from "Santa" this year ;D I'm excited to see that smile on his face.

I want that. Maybe someday. In the mean time I have my cousins. They are only 6 years old and are way into Assassin's Creed. I bought them some stuff Assassin's Creed stuff and can't wait to see their face when they open their presents.

Not even sure if it will fit their tiny arms but I bet that won't stop them. :D

My little guy just turned four last week. He's into guns and tools right now so I'm aiming for a G.I. Joe gun set, a little Black and Decker tool set and some walked talkies for us.
