Aaaaahhh The holiday season. Good music, Good Food, and Shitty attitudes! I've done almost all of my shopping online so far. I've gone to the stores around town and I think this weekend I'll hit up east town/knoxville center. I've pretty much covered the west side. Preparing christmas cards. Sorry, I like to do that stuff and I'm not expecting one in return so if you don't do that that's fine with me or if you just send an ecard that's cool too. Put my christmas tree up this weekend. I invited some work friends and their children to help and I had a blast. Good times. I'll post some pics later.

Stores actually haven't been to bad but I have yet to be offered a gift receipt or a box for a clothing item this year??? I guess you have to specifically ask for that? Usually this time of year you get one printed anyway but I guess they're saving on paper? Damn hippies!

Still have a couple people I'm undecided on either just a card or card/gift or even what to get? Gift giving is a pretty big deal for me. If you get a gift from me it means I consider you a good friend and I don't let too many of those in :) Even if you only get a card it still means you're pretty darn significant in my life and you've at least earned my respect. Not sure if this all sounds good?? Kind of hard to put into words but giving a gift at either christmas or birthdays is a big commitment in my mind. Of course now everybody who reads this will expect a gift huh? :) Go ahead and post your wishlists on the comments!! You just may be surprised.

Pretty excited about this weekend!!! It's Regal's christmas party! It's and incredible blast! The feast isn't always that plentiful as it's difficult to go for seconds but the music and comedy is good and ..... Oh yeah.... PRIZES!!! Everybody attending get's their name in barrel and then picked out for easily 50+ gifts given out during the evening and then everybody is back in the barrel for the grand daddy prizes. Last year they had 4 trips to various places and included CASH and an additional weeks vacation! Nice... To top it off they don't give out all the prices they've gathered during the year that night either, just the more significant ones I guess. During the week they'll have an e-mail drawing for those just left at the corporate office and prizes include gift certs to best buy, restaurants, and other items that they just didn't have time to give away at the party. My name has yet to be called out during the Party but the past two years I've won gift certs during the e-mail drawing which were very generous. Oh well... just thought I'd give you guys an update.

How's your shopping going?
