Default Who's still shopping?

OK, fess up! Who still hasn't completed their Christmas shopping/wrapping?

Do you enjoy the last minute chaos, or are you a procrastinator? Do you have trouble buying things for your +1?

We don't exchange presents, but a couple purchases have been made. Merry Christmas to me! I ordered a nice new 18-200mm lens for my camera. Watch out at the next meet! Paparazzi will be out. Rick ordered a new front lip for the S. Let's hope the third time is a charm.

We had our early Christmas last Sunday with our son and his family, the weekend is ours. We'll be getting together with some friends on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Looking forward to it.

I still have some shopping to do, and I abhor the last minute feelings. However, those who I have left to get for I know what to get and I won't be seeing them until after Christmas, so it's not too stressful.

The lady and I exchanged gifts last Friday actually , we can never wait. I don't usually have a problem, especially when she says "I LOVE the iPod touch." Good thing I managed to slip in "I wish my XBox didn't die" around Black Friday. We both got what we wanted, she got her own iPod and I got me an XBox and learned Kinect is freakin awesome!

Perhaps I'll pick myself up some camera gear as a Christmas gift to... myself. A D7000 will do the trick

Tonight is Christmas with the lady's step brothers and sister, tomorrow is Christmas with my family, then Christmas day is Christmas/Birthday Party on Long Island with her 2 year old cousin. Going to be quite a busy weekend and not really looking forward to traffic.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Quanzaa and all that jazz to all!!

Kinect is pretty cool, with the latest update Microsoft did a better job with the dashboard functionality. Definitely brings new life to the 360 which is starting to age. Highly recommended

Was going to get this, but couldn't picture myself playing it alone. Few years ago I would have friends come over all the time and we would always play PS2 together. Now they all have full time jobs and out grew games. My Wii has a 2 inch layer of dust on it.

I want a Canon EOS 7D for Christmas. Make it happen Santa.

I selfishly was planning on getting the wife the D7000 but was informed "no big things this year"
then I'd get her old D70 body for me


My son won an Xbox and a kinect along with a bunch of other stuff in a microsoft imagine cup code development challenge.

I attempted to start shopping the afternoon and the starter on ML320 decided to commit hari kari.
So that piffed away 2 hours so now I have to get up the motivation to go start again.

You'd better hurry, though I hear CVS is open on Christmas Day. Can you do all your shopping there?
