I’ve been _nearly_ done for weeks, with just some odds and ends.

Tonight I went and got the odds and ends. There’s _that_ off my list. Now to wrap!

Way to make the rest of us look bad, **Khadaji**. 😉

Congrats! We’re almost finished: mainly have to go buy wrapping and stuff now.

Me too! Not only is this the first year I started before December 20th, I actually finished on Dec 14th, for 9 people including myself. And I did 100% of my shopping online. I’ve never met anyone who procrastinates as much as I do, so I’m really really surprised with myself.

As a reward, I bought myself a Wii, 2 games, Simpsons Season 10, a 1 TB hard drive and some nice headphones.

I was done pretty early too. Thankfully I only have to shop for my son and my nieces and they only get gift cards since they live out of state. The last of my packages from Amazon arrived Monday. Now all that’s left is the wrapping, which I hate more than shopping.
