Dude. Real men do their Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve.
I heard about these being offered on NPR yesterday, I only had so much time before I would forget the what they were called.

Your feeble attempt at an excuse for your lack of manliness has failed miserably.

Well a real man would accept that risk to save his dignity.

So buying my little 5yr old god son something I know he would really love is a bad thing?

Man I better stop being so good to him. I mean he's only the best kid in the world, never cries, never wants anything, he's good to his mom and dad, he love me and his grandparents, man... you're probably right, I should just cut him off.

No. If he's that great you should have bought him a bike instead of those corny videos. :p

Don't listen to them, Stosh. Successful project managers plan ahead and don't wait until the last minute to do things. When everyone is running around two or three days before Xmas, you'll be sitting back, relaxing, and getting drunk.

I've already started my shopping. I also know all the other stuff I am going to buy, I just need to go buy it. Plan and execute, plan and execute.

:devil:

he's got a bike and any bike I could buy him for 17$ wouldn't be worth the $ I spend on it.

And I am going to be the official Secret Santa Nazi and flame any one for partaking in it.

At 5, they love you for the same reason your dog or cat does ...

Now, if you can say the same when they are 15 .... :p

real men get their wife to wrap any present they have picked out and their mom to wrap the presents for their wife.

no, really, xmas shoping sucks, and i despise it. Its just a pain in the ass, u gotta go guess what every1 wants then its all over, and it sucks, cus u didnt get what u wanted any way. I think that chash is the best present. :thumb:
 
I think the hardest person I had to shop for this year was my 5 yrd old daughter. She's all sorts of into these bratz dolls and thats all she wanted this year was crap from that. My 8 yr old was easy. She found this camelback she wanted so her grandmother got it for her leaving me in the breeze. So I get to finish her shopping this week. And after that I have my wife. She's getting cash. It's her favorite thing in the world. And me, all I want is to be able to sit down on Christmas day and drink my captain's private stock in peace. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good drunk!!!

i'm done with my christmas shopping, as it's all amazon/school apparel, and the school-ware had to be preordered.
