Are you done Christmas shopping?

Thread Starter 
It's 10am EST, Christmas Eve.

Have you finished all your Christmas shopping yet?

I'm not done... have most folks covered but just a few gifts not quite in hand yet, and one or two people whose offerings I'd like to augment.

I typically enjoy walking through the mall on Christmas Eve at closing time; it looks like a porno starlet right after the filming of a vigorous scene has wrapped. Everyone looks haggard and worn and there is a bit of a desperate stench to the place. For some reason I kind of enjoy it.

Anyways, curious to see if others are in the panic state.

Was done over two weeks ago, except a last gift for my wife, which I got last Friday night. One thing about having both our familes thousands of miles away; you have to send things out early.

Just got back from my last Christmas shopping. Now I have to wrap all the gifts because my wife is working today.

All I can say is Thank God for Amazon.

Actually, I also have Mrs. T's birthday present - early this year, no less.

Bwahahahahaha I've done mine - the most last-minute shopping done at Harrods' Valextra section, Dunhill in Jermyn St and Picketts in Burlington Arcade this Monday. So far though, the shwag on my side is decidedly slim. It's never at parity but I hope I score more than a £50 John Lewis gift voucher (my biggest haul thus far) at tomorrow lunch...
