Lordy, I’ve been a slacker on doing these. It’s the Tuesday This-or-That<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Go out and buy gifts, or shop online\/mail order?<\/b> I do a bit of both, but we do a lot of shopping on-line and mail order. Much easier, especially since it mostly has to be shipped to California anyway.<\/p>\n

We are way behind on our shopping. Good thing we’re going to Disney World. I guess.<\/p>\n

2. Gift cards\/certificates or pick out gifts?<\/b> I much prefer to give personal gifts, but there are some folks that gift certs make a lot more sense for.<\/p>\n

3. Pay cash or charge holiday gifts?<\/b> Hard to buy stuff from Amazon with cash. <\/p>\n

4. Are most of your gifts mailed or given in person?<\/b> Given in person. We mail a few to folks we don’t see over the holidays.<\/p>\n

5. Are you an early-bird or last-minute holiday shopper?<\/b> Yes.<\/p>\n

6. If you shop in stores…big chain stores or smaller specialty stores?<\/b> Mostly big chain stores, just because that’s where we happen to be. We do smaller, specialty stores, though, if we run across them.<\/p>\n

7. Wrap gifts yourself or have them wrapped at the store or mall?<\/b> Wrap them ourselves. I hate paying for giftwrapping services.<\/p>\n

8. Shopping on *Black Friday* (day after Thanksgiving)…did you or didn’t you?<\/b><\/p>\n

Not unless you count going to Home Depot to buy wood screws for the fence.<\/p>\n

9. Is your holiday gift list large or small?<\/b> Big.<\/p>\n

10. Is it better to give or to receive?<\/b> It’s better to give. But there’s nothing wrong with receiving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
