Me again...

[juliebata]

X-mas is just a week away, and I haven't even thought about shopping yet. It'll get done, it always does, I rather enjoy the last-minute coordination with my family about who's getting what for whom (good thing my family is pretty small..).
I am some sort of one-in-a-million freak who isn't bothered by crowds and traffic. I am an island of calm in a sea of holiday lunacy. Sometimes, I even find myself feeling guiltily smug as I'm standing in line next to some frazzled and exhausted parent with one or more howling children with them. I don't have any children to shop for, or with, and I'm grateful. Does this make me bad?

No.

Another good thing about last minute shopping is that you're not distracted by all that bothersome "selection." Whatever's left is what they get. Hah! Just kidding.

Hey!

Wipe that smug look off your face right now, young lady. Others may think you're smug because you got the very last Badtz-Maru angora sweater and try to assault you for it!

Bad, Bad Sweater

I'd love a Badtz-Maru sweater, but not an angora Badtz-Maru sweater.

Sounds like My Kinda Christmas! I mostly concentrate on two events: a Christmas eve tree-trimming party, to which I invite folks who I know might not really have another place to go (i.e. their family - although I do have a friend with a family, from which she escapes for this evening!) Then dinner on Christmas day. The rest of the time is a huge movie fest with a local friend, also without family ties.

Crazy(so, no, you're not bad at all!)Soph

I think that whether you are bad or good is a purely personal matter, between you and, well, Santa Claus.

I also think Tracy gives good advice.
