With the Christmas season at a close now and punching, kicking, yelling and screaming adults are done their full on panic shopping I find it downright hilarious that people know it's coming yet often with less than a week to go many people do the panic shop because they procrastinated, made excuses, pretended they had no time and the list goes on.
I am generally done all my shopping last week of November first week of December and when I am asked that inevitable question "Got all your shopping done?" I tell them yes I am done. Upon saying that I am met with a mixture of admiration, disbelief and more frequently in recent years outright anger and mostly by women. Unfortunately many of the names they call me are unprintable with lots of references to the back side of a donkey and a hole. I don't get why they are so mad. They know when Christmas is, they have a whole year to get ready for it but then suddenly it smacks them in the face and they are mad at me because I am done and they are not it boggles the mind.
It is not my fault or my problem for your lack of foresight however it is pure fun for me to see you panicked and frazzled trying to force your way through the masses to scramble for that last item or get into a shouting and pushing match over an item. As long as you continue to be ill prepared for the season I will be sitting there drinking my coffee and enjoying your panic shopping. Thank you for the entertainment. See you next year.
