I always tend to forget how quickly time passes between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm running out of time to get all the holiday shopping done-- I suppose I had better work on that.

Although I do kind of hate shopping -- it's just too late to order things online and get them in time.

	I'd say, it all depends on where you order from. Technically there's still two weeks until Christmas. Plenty of time for next day or even two day delivery. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	True -- but it's hard to trust our Postal Service, sometimes. At this point it might just be safer to do it the old fashioned way, regardless of a one-two day delivery promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's only safer if there are no rabid mobs. Then again, I don't really enjoy going out shopping myself, so if I can avoid, I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm... now I am concerned about it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If I was not stuck at home I would have forgotten too. Some sites though do let you pay a fee for express processing and delivery so you can still get it before Christmas. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-11 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	I had heard about that. Are you doing better? The fees almost make going out to a real store more cost effective, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fleurdesetoiles 2012-12-11 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	I am getting there. Yes and no depending on what the fee is. I only paid $3 in fees last night on one last minute thing. It would add up though if you had to pay that repeatedly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of two things wouldn't hurt, but I'm afraid I haven't started shopping at all yet. ~~I'm not used to having to.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fleurdesetoiles 2012-12-12 12:10 am UTC (link)
	If I was able I would offer to help. I got off easy since most of my gifts did not need to be shopped for and are not really wrap-able in a sense. Do you have any idea on what you want to buy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-12 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Not really... I figured I'd just browse until I found something suitable. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thanksgiving definitely means there is less time to get everything done. If you need help shopping you know I am around :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-11 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	I might actually like some company whilst shopping, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	beautyandbrains 2012-12-11 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome. Just let me know when. My university classes are over for now so I am free to shop anytime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-11 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	How does tomorrow sound? After 5? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	beautyandbrains 2012-12-12 12:06 am UTC (link)
	Perfect :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	tiniestweasley 2012-12-11 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Or you could just give everyone gift cards or cash? That way you only have to buy cards for everyone. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-11 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	Seems ... un-inventive, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiniestweasley 2012-12-11 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	What it lacks in creativity it makes up for in practicality. You should see what I want to give everyone for Christmas... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-11 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	That's a good point. And oh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiniestweasley 2012-12-12 12:05 am UTC (link)
	See I can think practically once in a while. Don't worry I am going to behave this year. No gifts that will make anyone blush. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-12 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Thank goodness for small favours. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tiniestweasley 2012-12-12 12:13 am UTC (link)
	That is unless you want something better than a book and a scarf. Then I make no promises. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-12 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	I can't imagine being happier with something that was not a book. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I've done most of my shopping already, but I do know I'll be headed out for a few last-minute gifts. Be careful out there! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-12 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	I'll certainly attempt to be! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	johnjones 2012-12-12 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Good. It's a little crazy out there. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Who are you still shopping for? I have a few things left to get, too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-12 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2012-12-13 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Wow. You're leaving it to the line. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-15 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	Well... I am not used to having to do much shopping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2012-12-15 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	You need some help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2012-12-15 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, no. I believe I have it handled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good luck, Percy. (Reply to this) (Parent)
