Done it all this year online - took 30 minutes, no queues and no last minute running round on xmas eve.
I feel the start of a long runnning tradition coming on :)

Mostly the interwebmess, but some things from the high street.
I always have the fear that it won't arrive via the post in time for christmas when I buy something on the interent.

I have hit that panic state. I left everything too late, some delivery dates say they might arrive in 3 weeks.
Hopefully not!

Finished!
Just got back from the high street and it wasn't nice, that's it done though.
Bit of wrapping and I'm done, I think I shall go have a beer to celebrate.

My christmas shopping consist of me going into town to shop then looking at the queues then saying to myself i cant be arsed with these queues so I phone my sister up and ask her if she will buy the presents for me.

I've decided that I've spent too many years of my life as a student--I simply don't get stuff done until the last minute. :)
I actually thought I was *nearly* done shopping but just received an e-mail from an online toy store informing me that the product I ordered last week is now backordered and will not be available until after Christmas. ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Now I have to go deal the mall madness on my day off.
