I should probably start Christmas shopping

For many years my brother and I would go out the day before Christmas eve or Christmas eve. We believed it was performance under pressure.
Brother moved across the state, not many people to get gifts for now.
We always had a blast doing it, surprisingly the crowds were really light too.

When I was married, the wife made me go shopping with her all the time so every year I had my Xmas shopping done early. Since being single again, I've gotten lazier and have frequently found myself buying a dozen gift cards at Best Buy or some department store.

The past few years, I've embraced the concept of shopping online and always start ordering gifts after Thanksgiving when everyone has their "Black Friday" sales. This year, I actually finished shopping for everyone by the first week of December. Never once set foot in a physical store and it's all delivered to my door.
