White Elephant, And December Shopping

Just finished up with marketing’s white elephant gift exchange. Not too shabby I might add. I remember one year, I got some Sudafed for my gift. Although I have to say that it came in handy a year later when I got a pretty server cold. Oh well. This year, I came out with some English breakfast tea, some cookies, and some swizzle sticks. Yeah not the coolest of things, but not as bad as a $10 stationary set. Now to finish off the day.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate shopping in December. Well generally speaking, shopping  is pretty boring, traffic is usually horrible, and you end up spending way more than you think you were going to spend. Add December into the picture. Oh gawd. But I do have to get some stocking stuffers and some periphials for my video presents for my family. Hopefully they’ll all be there and I won’t need to go do some hunting. I’ve got a plan set out, that should help in optimizing time and traffic. We’ll see.

Other than that, this week is finally come to a close, and with 5 days until Andrea and I head back to Washington, we’ve got lots on our plates to finish. Also, the snow. Please let there be no hassles or derailments with our flights.  Last thing I want is to miss Christmas with the families.

Peace.
