From where I grew up, we always say it’s already christmas when we reach the ‘ber’ months.  You’d start hearing those songs over the radio - or even countdowns in some stores. 

I always look forward to christmas because this usually meant (note past tense) getting money from my folks and grandparents.  That was when I was a selfish smartass kid.  

And now that I’ve grown up – it’s sort of the other way around now.  You get lesser gifts than what you give out…  At least I do (and for some of you who still get loads of stuff – I’m happy for you).  Not that I’m complaining.   

Started my holiday shopping last weekend – and dropped in the shops tonight as well and grabbed something while waiting for my bus.   Weeknights is the best time to do this if you want to avoid the long queues – so I thought it best to beat the rush. 

For some reason, I always end up in the gadget shops and in deep thought of what I should get myself for christmas.  Hey, we are not restricted to giving gifts only to second persons.  For all you know, with the heck of the year you’ve put on – you deserve a gift yourself! 

I have my eyes set on a macbook.  I think the guy in the store already knows my name as I have been on his shop for the nth time without getting anything. 

My subconscious tells me that I have already booked myself a gift – a week off on the Sharm (Egypt) on christmas.  That means I’ve gone a bit overboard this year – and I have used up my budget for a macbook… 

Perhaps another bluetooth instead to replace the one I lost?
