got your Christmas shopping done?

[Flashjeff]

I finished all my shopping a good two weeks ago as I had no intention of dealing with the mob scene in the malls, and since this is Christmas Eve, the stores will be absolutely insane and crowded to the max with last minute procrastinators. But not me, I can settle in on my sofa tonight with a hot bowl of chili and enjoy Monday Night Football with a clear conscience as I took the initiative and did my shopping early! Hooray for me!

Indeed a wise step. It is good to sit back and do nothing important. It makes you feel important, as someone who can allow himself to do nothing significant during Christmas

That might be so, but say, what would you send to business partners? You have to admit it, cards are the cheapest, most cliché, most unoriginal, most most most, boring, but most useful things to send to work acquaintances.

We have a nice thing at work. Instead of sending each other cards, one of my colleagues collects a fiver from everyone in the office, which we donate to Oxfam.
