Christmas shopping sucks...



Recommended Posts

But Amazon ROCKS! I've done ALL my Christmas shopping online this year, and it's so freakin' relaxing. Screw the malls. You can go online and have all of your Christmas shopping done online within an hour and not have to mess with traffic, bad weather, parking, rude people, lines, etc. Just point, click, and pay. :clap2:

I love the crowded malls, look forward to it every year.. Yeah, I know I'm nuts... I'm a true shopaholic, love to shop, live to shop... gotta touch it, gotta try it, gotta have it, then and there..

I do love to shop online, but the wait kills me..

I always start my shopping early and I do most of it during my lunch hour. I'm done by Thanksgiving, including the wrapping. Yes, I know, people hate me. But I've always done it this way and I stay away from the crowded stores now. Just sitting back waiting for Christmas to come :(

I LOVE online shopping, and the stuff shows up at my door. Amazon is the best, because of the free shipping at $25! And they carry everything - I hate shopping in the crowds with blue haired old ladies pushing you out of the way for a bargain.

it isnt cheap - I think $75 a year, but we've more than made up for it.. FREE 2 day shipping on most stuff. they may still have a free trial period. sometimes they overnight at no additional charge. I love it. just look for it on their site.

That is a wonderful idea.

We really don't buy too many gifts for the kids. Last year I went to our local dollar store and bought them some toys (just so they would have something to open). My kids are grateful for anything we get them, they are not hard to please at all. We always travel at Christmas time to visit our family so the gift giving thing is not important.

I do however love shopping and love the crowded caotic (sp?) malls. I use this time to shop even though its not necessarrily for gifts.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
