I know I am.
Shafting close family members with no gifts this year would just be plain mean, but I need to do something to afford it.
Smarter has so far meant getting my mom's gifts taken care of at the Linens 'n Things going-out-of-business sale last weekend. But don't tell my mom, it might give her a hint about what she's getting.
Of course, I'm also the guy who HATES seeing anything Christmas until after Thanksgiving, and any kind of holiday promotion coming before Halloween should be outlawed. But with this year's crunch, I'm making sure to think Christmas early so I'm not getting bilked during the traditional buying season.
Anyone else, especially those so early Christmas-phobic, taking the same tactics this year?
