I have done virtually zero holiday shopping

Just come out already.

No Xmas gifts! Partying with the family is good enough! Buying stuff people don't care about or have abundant of is such a waste. Send a big check to a charity or something, it will be better spent.

Amen

Who cares. It's my wife that'll get scorched, not me.

I make mine old fashioned way: black and strong in traditional pot. I got no use for those pussy ass half cup urban hipster pieces of shit.

Edited to add: she has one of those brand new Vue Kurig machines. They arent on the recall.

.....couldn't say it better myself.

You pencil neck geeks are just jealous

Quick and easy. Plus it's the only option for coffee at work other than cafeteria swill

roaring fire next to the pickup

In the sideyard. Possum on a spit. Iron coffee pot sitting on the coals. Woohoo

picked up gifts in spain for my friends a while ago. ordering my dad an SD card for his phone since his ipod is full, but he won't care that he gets it late.

kind of blows my mind that people still do christmas shopping at malls. you can order anything you need online.

Regardless of the rest of the post, this is the shit. There's so much less desperation to the holiday without the pressure of finding the perfect gift.

There's too much judgment in this holiday. Simplification, particularly for the adults, is the key to making it meaningful again.

That being said, I hope everyone gets everything they want (or doesn't get what they don't want) this year, and it only gets better next year.

Thanks for a good year, guys--it keeps me connected and sane. Happy holidays to all.
