    The important question is how many shopping days to Christmas ?

    Lets say you don't shop on Sundays because that's immoral and you don't shop on weekdays because you have to work.

    then there are only about 20 days left :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    People bother me with the running and screaming when I walk through the mall. You think they never saw an eight foot tall werewolf before.

    I am offically going to move 'Christmas Day' this year to coincide with the Sales.. there is nothing worse than buying something for someone for 'Christmas Day' and two days later its less than half the price.. they can all wait this year!!.. AND seeing as Jesus wasn't even officially born on the 25th December (he was either born on 11th September or sometime in June - that's if he was even born at all..) so if the catholics can move this date to suit themselves - so can I.. :D

    I'm actually a pagan so I don't care when Christmas happens actually. Just memo me so I know when to throw the presents at people I'm related to.
