Christmas shopping both fun and frustrating for people like me, who enjoy finding personal presents for everyone on their list. It gets hard, however, when your list keeps growing with people you don't always see.
1. Do I really have to buy something for all of these people??
I mean seriously, it's exhausting trying to come up with personal gifts for everyone.
2. Can I use the excuse that (fill in the blank) is on the naughty list, when really I didn't know what to get him?
I can't help it if they have been bad and don't deserve presents. Right? Right?
3. What do you buy for the person who has everything they could possibly want?
I mean for real, some people find something that they want and they just buy it? it's extremely frustrating.
4. I cannot deal with these people, they are driving me crazy.
Why do people think dragging their children around the store with them while Christmas shopping is a good idea? If I hear one more child scream about wanting something that their parent has probably already bought I'm going to threaten to tell Santa!
5. This is the perfect gift! Who cares if it costs a little more than I was planning to spend?
I mean it's the perfect gift! Can you really put a price tag on your friend's happiness??
6. Wait it costs HOW MUCH??
Or, you know, I could just buy them some nice socks...
7. Screw it, I'm staying home, I can buy all of this on Amazon anyways.
I get 3% cash back from Amazon and they have more variety, that seems much safer to me...
8. Why didn't I start my shopping earlier?
Okay, yes I should have started shopping a little bit here and a little bit there in October, but hindsight is 20/20...
9. Screw it, they're all getting some form of alcohol.
And let's be honest, they will all love this option anyways!
Overall, Christmas shopping is a very stressful but important part of the holiday season. Christmas isn't just about getting gifts but giving gifts to the people we care about helps show others just how much they mean to us. But thank goodness Christmas only comes once a year, because I don't think I could handle having to shop this much more than once.
