This year is my most successful year of holiday shopping yet. Yea verily, I am indeed finished with all of my holiday shopping as of today. I can now lean back and enjoy the next nine days secure in the knowledge that I have no more crowds to brave, bargains to hunt, or expenses to incur. There’s even a good chance that people will actually like what I bought them.

Not too shabby for a scatterbrained procrastinator like yours truly, is it?

(It bears pointing out that the vast bulk of this year’s holiday presents were selected, assembled and wrapped up by one particular very awesome lady. Some gifts required my personal touch, however, and oddly enough I actually came through with some good selections. I’m so proud of me. Heh.)
