Default I hate Christmas shopping

The cold, the crowds, searching for a gift for your lady. Have you guys ever walked alone into a Victorias Secret? The ladies in there searching through panties make you feel as welcome as a wet dog in an elevator. O.K. I shouldn't have held that see through thing up against that lady, but she was about the right size! Then walking into a craft store, I swear I could feel my dick shriveling up!
Men don't belong in here, and the ladies let you know that as soon as you walk in the door! I have decided that cash and gift cards are the way to go.

I hate x-mas (shopping) too.... my kids already have damn near anything they could want (spoiled little beasts......)......anything I buy for my wife or my parents never gets used (and vice versa...what they buy me i don't use)......... but....with as busy as the malls are, they should figure out some way to make x-mas twice a year for their sake.

whats really bad is that everyone shops at a different pace... people cut you off... people walk slow in big packs with strollers. and are in general really damn inconsiderate

I'm with you. I hate shopping and I especially hate Christmas shopping. When I go shopping, it's like I'm on a scavenger hunt. I can't imagine going shopping without a mission or idea of what I want to get.

Then, like you said, Victoria's Secret is the most unwelcoming place on earth. At least when I go in there with my girlfriend, I'm the official "purse holder" so I have a purpose for being in there. I should get a purple heart just for going in there by myself to shop for my girlfriend.

I do almost all of my Christmas shopping online now. No traffic, no malls, no lines, no rude people, and it all gets delivered to my door.

I don't really care about Christmas shopping. I work at a big retail store department in the mall. I get good discount through where I work. Make my gift seem more expensive then it really is. I tend to shop at night though because even employees have to wait in line for the register well sometimes.

yeah, I hate that too, which is why I put it off until a day or two before, but still I regret my fault because that is when it is HELL!
