Christmas shopping

[The Dark Knight]

Did my Xmas shopping yesterday, for my Girlfriend, Mum, Dad, Brother and Sister. Good to do it all in one lot and get it out the way.

Problem solvered.
I'd been thinking about buying the woman I mentioned a watch as she'd lost hers and couldn't afford a new one, but she had dropped the hint she'd like something more "personal".
That term "personal" worried me a bit, but fishing around a bit suggested she'd like something like a necklace. I found a pendant on a chain that opens to reveal a watch.
It is also not so "personal" or expensive an item that it will give her the false impression I'm in love with her.

Hit the shops today for 2 hours - because my daughter wanted me to take her.

Well - I come to the realisation that Christmas Shopping is like child birth.
You are in great excrutiating pain during the process,
Then you after the event you are very happy,
And you forget how much 'pain' you were it happens all over again.

i didnt think child birth was that painful and that most women just use it to try and get sympathy.......

Looked like very few retailers stayed open until midnight last night. Went to Hollywood Plaza last night after the 36ers game, and basically the only stores open were Woolies, Coles and Target. Woolies even had their separate entrance open.
