Christmas Present Thread

Unfortunately, I don't think It will get there in time. I ordered it, but they wanted to over $50 to ship something very small, yet would ship it to me for free. #######? Damn you Canada Post, yet another reason why I hate canada post, closed on saturday, horrible tracking system, slow as molases, and exhorbitant fees.

I am with you 100% on the I-Hate-Canada-Post thing. USPS is like the holy grail to me. I always laugh when people complain about them.

Well, I just complain that they spend like $50m sponsoring a bicycle racing team and other sporting events.

What the... ?

Since when did they become a private company?

I donno, but they did sponser Lance Armstrong and his cycling team, and still have a team (I am unsure if Armstrong is still involved). Oh wait, maybe that is why they are able to deliver faster and remain open longer and more days, steroids. I should have known.

I finished my shopping today.. I spent about 70 bucks on my 11 nieces and nephews... I tried to get them at least one nice gift...

[Krikit 1,164]

Wow. Good budgeting, Marilyn!

[Marilyn. 340]

when you have that many nieces and nephews you have to budget and find the best deals...

[Hugglebuggles 60]

$70 total on 11 people? Wow. That's some skill!

I have soooo much shopping to do still, all of which I plan on doing this weekend. I'm not looking forward to it. If I get away without spending a small fortune I'll be happy.

I'm thinking about giving some people Colorado Avalanche tickets since Bill and I have season tickets and there are tons of home games left this year. It's a pretty sweet present I think! Ticket's aren't cheap. I'm wondering if that's a good idea or not...

I'm excited for Christmas this year because last year my husband and I weren't able to get each other much of anything because I wasn't able to work at the time. So this year I went a little overboard. I got him a call of duty wii controller because he's been obsessed, jeans/belt/shirts, car stereo, and a dvd. I'm excited I've been begging him to open a present daily..but he still won't.

[Krikit 1,164]

Wow. Someone's been a good boy. lol

[Marilyn. 340]
