Title: Holiday Shopping Post by: dystopia on December 10, 2008, 06:09:31 PM How goes the shopping for Christmas/Festivus/etc. presents?
I started today. Bought a cool LED flashlight for an uncle. Made the mistake of checking out candlepowerforums (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/) though and had a little purchasing paralysis deciding on a model. Wow, those folks are really into flashlights. [sm_shock] Anyone start shopping? (or finished?) Title: Re: Holiday Shopping Post by: Fuzzy on December 10, 2008, 07:38:06 PM We started and are probably 50-60% done.

Title: Re: Holiday Shopping Post by: Clive on December 10, 2008, 08:34:35 PM We've (my wife) done almost all of the shopping for the kids (nephews, nieces, friends' kids), maybe 40% of the shopping for family, about 25% of the shopping for our kid, and 0% of the shopping for each other. Lean Christmas here, though -- big bills upcoming. Makes shopping easier.

Pretty lean Christmas here too. Just buying some things for the kids and that's about it. The entire family(Karen's family, I don't have any.) has had a pretty rough go of it this year. Lost house, Full time lay off, Long hospitalization, Brink of divorce, etc. Here's hoping for a better 2009 [sm_beertoast] Title: Re: Holiday Shopping Post by: Blader on December 11, 2008, 06:28:14 AM The candelpower forums absolutely crack me up.

I'm not sure he knows much about luminescence but he does know ergonomics. Title: Re: Holiday Shopping Post by: stroh on December 11, 2008, 09:54:28 AM I started today.
