The other morning on the way to the gym I noticed the holiday lights were up in the shopping center. (The gym is open at 5:30 a.m. twice a week now, and at 5:30 it is very dark and the lights show up very well.) My first thought, of course, was the usual "I hate the way they rush the season..." At work later in the day, though, I realized...six weeks. And take from those six weeks Thanksgiving, a trip to Pennsylvania, several projects and meetings at the office, three charity walks, a doctor's appointment, a couple of parties, and I have...six hours to do my Christmas shopping.
So early this morning I visited Amazon.com and spent a paycheck, and all I have to do is wait for the big box to arrive.
And when I unpack it, I'll figure out who I actually need presents for, and what random thing they are gonna get.
Hey, I never said this was a good method...

I'm just going to avert my eyes until at least... December. Yup. At least.
