Christmas Shopping Sucks

Well It is Monday night, December 20th, and I just got home from starting my Christmas shopping. Well I hate Christmas shopping. I know I left it a little late to start, but I am a procrastinator and I feel I do things better under pressure. I am starting to feel the heat now as I am running out of time and I have to work the next four days. It's not really the shopping that I hate, it's more of coming up with ideas of what to get people for this great big gift giving celebration.

Now what would I really like for Christmas......

1. I would like my puppy traned not to chew my stuff and be fully housetrained. I am pretty tired of puppy-pee on my floors.

2. I would like the crafty gene implanted in myself. I wish I had a little Martha Stewart in me, not the insider trading Martha, the grow your own Christmas tree, cut it down with a homemade saw, make the tree stand out of paper mache, then decorate the tree using homemade decorations, and lights Martha.

3. I would like top be able to sing without scaring people. I was at church on Sunday (because my parents are in town) and I know the words to some of the songs, but I am scared people will point and laugh when my off key words come out, so I just lip sync, and everyone is happy. I still get the odd pointing and laughing asshole, but oh well.

4. I would like all the people who doddle in the malls when there are only four shopping days until Christmas to either hurry up and walk a tad bit faster than the old lady in the walker or stay the hell home.

Well I am feeling like the Grinch so I better go and do something festive. Bah, I'm going to cancel Christmas next year!
