Sometimes I just don’t learn.
\nPart of my charm, I guess.<\/p>\n

Here I go again.
\nIt’s a yearly thing.<\/p>\n

A couple of days before Christmas and I’ve got to get my butt off the couch and hit the stores or all the wife will get is a lump of coal.<\/p>\n

This close to December 25th should see some good bargains.<\/p>\n

\"Walmart-fight-sized\"<\/a>Of course they’ll be the usual rude, push-and-shove mobs to go with them.<\/p>\n

It’s too late to shop on-line so I’ll just have to take my biggest, baddest cane and wave it around like a mad man.<\/p>\n

If I look grumpy maybe people will stay out of my way.<\/p>\n

It hasn’t worked before but hope springs eternal.<\/p>\n

Once again the wife says, \u201cDon\u2019t spend any money on me this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

I’ve been married long enough to know better.<\/p>\n

There are two choices with her – jewelry and jewelry.<\/p>\n

I tried clothes one year and the size, color and style were all wrong.
\nLesson learned.<\/p>\n

And a new pan is not her idea of a Christmas gift.
\nAnother lesson learned.<\/p>\n

So to all us guys who procrastinated ourselves into this position…you’re out of time.
\nGiddy up.<\/p>\n

Go to a decent jewelry store, throw yourself at the mercy of a salesperson, if you can find one, and hope they gift wrap.<\/p>\n

Women do not understand that guys don’t “shop”.
\nWe “buy” and there’s a world of difference.<\/p>\n

\"shop-vs-buy-sized\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If they only understood how difficult shopping is for us they\u2019d appreciate it more.<\/p>\n

Yeah.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas.<\/p>\n
