Mine is done. Well, I always buy some lottery tickets for Mom the week before, but beyond that, it is done and has been for weeks. 🙂 ---

> [@Rhubarb](#): > > And is it just me, or does anyone else have a mental block about Christmas shopping until after their birthday? Yes–and in my case, that’s a bad, baaaaaad thing. 🙂 I often spend my birthday in the mall, wishing I were dead. ---

I’m the 25th. Add me to all the bitter, ripped-off kids who got one f **_ing present for both Christmas and Birthday from all those b_stards, but who isn’t f** \*ing bitter about it. Much. I’m 50 this year, and am getting the AARP mailings. I’ve finally realized I’m on the glidepath towards death. Did I mention I’m bitter and melancholy? Oh, and filled with rage. Don’t forget the rage. I’ll just be over here sitting in the dark, cleaning my automatic weapons. ---

> [@5que](#): > > I’m 50 this year, and am getting the AARP mailings. Don’t worry about it. My birthday is the 14th. I’m turning 34 this year and I am already getting the AARP mailings. I find they make a very satisfying grinding sound going through the shredder. ---

Add me to all the bitter, ripped-off kids who got one f **_ing present for both Christmas and Birthday from all those b_stards, but who isn’t f** \*ing bitter about it. Much. I started showing up emptyhanded on other people’s birthdays and claiming that the present they’d gotten for Christmas the year before was for their birthday, too. That usually makes them stop. 🙂 ---

Nope, mine is one day before yours. I’m done and they’re all wrapped. And I’m a single guy! (I only had 5 to buy, and was told what to buy by my sister for 3 of them) ---

Take a guess when mine is. 😉 I just discovered yesterday that my BF didn’t get the relevancy of the 1222 on my internet handle. You will all be pleased to know that he is NOT a Doper, thus he does not bring our collective IQ down at all. At least he’s pretty… 😛 ---
