Had a discussion last night and people are amazed that I wait till Christmas Eve to go out and do my shopping. I work full time so I refuse to go during a weekend or with the after work rush. Unless I am looking for something really unique, i have never had a problem getting stuff the night before and its usually 100x less busy. ---

I look way before Christmas because if I give a gift I want it to kick ass. ---

We normally start purchasing stuff around sept & oct. 95% of our shopping is done before black friday. I hate going out with all the crazy last minute people. ---

I did some of it last night. bought a 33 gal compressor from sears for my dad… then wrapped it in the back of his suburban. (I had to borrow his own suv to buy it!) it’s been running ever since it came out of the box heating his garage actually. err cycling i should say. ---
