        That's why you just buy books for people. The wrapping is easy .

          I can't even do square things .

          Computer games are roughly the same size. I bought Call of Duty 4 for my brother. Though I admit, I'm a little better at wrapping computer games. they are the perfect size.

          I hope call of duty 4 is good. Anyone know anything about it? He said he wanted so I assume he knows what he wants. I don't follow shooter games myself.

            I bought some presents for my nephews and my friends daughter today, despite my vow not to feed the hungry maw of Mammon...

            But still, presents for 8 kids under $30. That's not bad...

              I am now seriously committed to getting started-- IN fact I feel as if I HAVE started in that I have confirmed that my shopping day will be Dec 24

                Just finishing off today. The range of gifts goes from a bit crappy (cousin that's extremely hard to buy for) to superaweseome (if the grandparent's don't love the original artist signed contemporary photography from a small gallery hidden down a side street in Brighton, well, I GIVE UP)
                Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                -Richard Dawkins

                  Wrapped my presents tonight. I think it requires a degree in rocket science to wrap these things nicely. I give up. I hope it shows I don't care. Because I don't care about cheap paper that will be ripped off and discarded.

                        I had just two people left to buy in part fort before the start of today -- and that is now accomplished. I'm done.

                        I place most presents I buy in reusable bags and use wrapping paper only when they are physically too large to fit in any sized bag I have.

                          I just saw that it won Gamespy's Game of the Year for PC, XBox 360, and PS3. So it seems to be pretty damned good.

                              Finished everything except two gifts last weekend. Bought the last and the one I had forgotten today.
