I hate malls and big box stores. Luckily, I live 1 mile from a great small town with nice shops. What I cant find in town gets bought online. No waiting on long lines and poor service for me.
I do most of it online, except for a few last minute items that I run to the local stores. I don't mind the mall most of the year, but in December I just try to stay as far away as possible.
I got everything online, except a "Women in Waders" calendar for my little brother, lol. He's big into fishing but only 14, so hopefully the parents don't get too pissed!
It was too good to pass up, tho.
I am sending everybody a card this year. "Thank you for the fine cigars you provided this year. By not buying presents I was able to afford some fine smokes for myself. Feel free to buy something for yourself with the money you expected to spend on me."
