ADMIT IT... YOU HAVEN'T STARTED CHRISTMAS SHOPPING YET.

ad

I know damn well I'm not the only one here who will be spending more time at Walmart and Dollar General this week than the gym (yeah, fuck'em they're getting gift cards from Dollar General).
My grandmother, who recently passed away last Spring, would start her Christmas shopping the day after Christmas (for the following year) and by the time Christmas came, we had HUNDREDS of presents each... it was unreal as a child.... and then three years ago, we had to go down to the police station and bail her out... found out she had been a crafty shoplifter for DECADES (true story)... one of the best ever. I still get emotional when I think of Grandma B walking out of a Sears with dishwasher. Apparently, grey hair has an advantage.
Anyway... HAVE YOU STARTED SHOPPING YET??? Have you finished?

LOL.Your grandma was awesome!

I have bought one gift on Overstock for my wife. She has done all of the rest of the shopping.

Haha exact same here, and even better that overstock accepts (rhymes with slit)coin as payment (hope that didn’t brake a rule)

Pale's picture

Its all good, we are talking regular stuff not gear. And yes I was testing slitcoin too lol

Where do you deposit a slitcoin? And do you need one of those casino buckets for when you make a withdrawal?

I can see pale in 20 years sitting at the slot machine with his lucky trolls sitting on it guarding his penny slot with his life, praying that the red hair Troll will bring him luck

Haha. Their system is simple, even sent me a litttle refund because btc went up a little right before I paid. Even better I didn’t have to spend real money!

Sorry to hear about your granny passing. Was going to ask her to do my shopping this year

LMFAO! True family, making sure you kiddos had a bunch no matter what the cost. Gotta love it! I admit I wait until the last second, they put it all on clearance. They want you to shop early, its a trick, when in reality at the last second they clear it out with rock bottom deals.

P.s: don't forget to get your wives a vacuum cleaner. They like the Dysons.

I'm not allowed to do the Christmas shopping anymore. I can participate (pay the bills), but not do the actually shopping. Apparently not everyone wants a Christmas card of my best poses and pr's from the year with a gift card to red robins saying this should help with your gains enclosed..

Wait, they don’t?
Shit. This explains a lot lol

Nice story. I like it. Granny with a purpose - all the kids grown up and moved away, but she stayed focused. I can hear her now: "Gosh darnit! I'm gonna give them young'uns the best Christmases ever!" Sweet old lady. My Christmas present to my wife was to pay for her to spend it with her family..(oh - and bought her something online a month ago). Since I live in a foreign country - she is the only one I have to shop for, so that was easy. Good luck to you last-minute guys.

It is good to have a wife. But in this regard, mine is as much of a christmas failure as i am. Although, Amazon and bitcoin have made shopping a little easier this year.

Your granny stole all year to give you a good Christmas and your giveing away Dollar General gift cards? Your a source throw some Viagra and diet pills in those stockings...It’s the gift that keeps giveing. Uncle Sam would love a bottle of prop in his stocking.

Probably worth money now lol
Call American Pickers!!

You’re right & especially if there’s some not opened yet! If they come, I will split it with you :))

Dollar General gift cards! Do you have to be wearing a top hat and monocle to purchase those?

Lmfao grandma must have been on the naughty list for years. I only have one more present to get

7gothic's picture

Dude... I swear we were all blown away by the news. My Grand mother was NOT the type of person you would expect to steal anything LOL

helloBrooklyn's picture

Did anyone ask her her reasoning behind her chronic theft? Was she addicted to the thrill? Was it because she didn’t have the money? Was she trying to “stick it” to corporations? I find it interesting, the impetus behind kleptomania.

Sam I Am's picture

She probably just enjoyed giveing the kids a good Christmas.
