Christmas Shopping

Shortbus Flashers · 11-22-2005, 03:59 PM

How many of you married men go shopping with their wife for Christmas? I would rather pull my toe nails out than put up with holiday shoppers, and she seems to think all husbands go.

My wife works retail and hates to shop anywhere for anything at anytime.

On the other hand I am a shopper and shop everywhere and for everything at anytime.

Today
$17 Thriftway
$165 Fred Meyer
$98 Fishermans
$74 Gi Joes
$29 Pet Smart
$11 Petco

And it is only a little after 5

Still time to go out after dinner.

Rules for the next month:
1) Fear the mall
2) Fear driving near a mall
3) Fear your wife at the mall
4) Fear the Friday morning just go down there at 5:30 am and get me that (chose product) from (pick store).

I guess I live in fear of the holidays.

I love to shop with my wife as long as it is not for groceries or cloths for her.

Shop online.

You mean earn all the money so she can spend it - that's me. Or do you mean go to the mall and actually participate - uuummm! Welllll! Lets just say

There has got to be something else to do - get a filling at the dentist without novacaine - or how about cleaning the garage when its 10 below zero out.

If Washington Square had a Cabelas or a Fisherman's Marine Supply - maybe just maybe I might go - but I have to deal with the glazed eyed shoppers on my way to the club every night between now and Christmas - the last thing I'd want to do is actually join them - Heck I can't even stand going to Winco on Sunday.

Shop on line keep Brown in business

OK, I concur with the fabric store - I HATE the fabric store - childhood trama - unless I'm looking for stretchy thread. :grin: That said, I'll cowboy up and admit that I have a blast Christmas shopping with my wife. We make our gift list beforehand then go on speed shopping marathons. It's kind of a Christmas tradition for us. So there. I enjoy it. That doesn't make me a bad person.....does it?
