Holiday (Golightly) Shopping

Are you kidding me, you're not finished yet?

Have I taught you nothing?

Well, we are only very recently acquainted, so I probably haven't taught you anything just yet. Pay attention:

1) For future reference: set a reminder in your Outlook calendar/Blackberry/Trapper Keeper notebook - on November 1, when you're finished eating your Halloween candy, start your holiday shopping. I make it a point to be completely finished (or almost completely finished - except for that ridiculous miniature black notebook my dad wants - where do they sell those???) by Thanksgiving.

2) You have NO idea how much holiday stress is aleviated by just shopping earlier than everyone else. Enough where, when you hear co-workers and friends moaning and groaning about how they're "not finished yet!", you'll just pick up your glass of wine (you really should start drinking at work) and smile smugly.

3) If you haven't done the early shopping thing this year, I really can't help you.

I never said these posts would be useful.
