TIME TO GO SHOPPIN'

My wife and her sister decided this past Saturday was the perfect day to go on a 7 hour shopping marathon. It would've been. Except that there was a blizzard. With 3 shopping days to go, I'll be venturing to the malls today to begin my annual rite of passage, "Holiday Shopping the Week of Christmas". To be honest though, I actually like waiting to almost the last minute. There's a lot more holiday spirit in the air then say, August...when a certain PST Wake-UP Crew co-host is essentially done her shopping. Yup. Nothing like wrapping up a set of wine glasses by the pool. To be honest, I've already ordered a few gifts online, so technically today won't be the start...but it will be my first physical venture into the mob. Deck the Halls!
When do you begin your shopping?
