Is christmas shopping fun?
 
i find it weird when i meet a man who likes Christmas shopping. personally its just a headache.

christmas shopping a headache or fun.


my gf loves it. i only like it when it involves selecting stuff either related to a bike. which is 0% of the time.

I need some more options, kiggles. Surfing t'internet for stuff can be quite enjoyable, fighting your way round department stores is less fun than putting hot skewers through your own elbows.

Took the words right out of my mouth. ...and I'm a mother of two!!

I flippin hate it, I haven't done any xmas shopping yet! I loathe the whole farce. So many have already done their shopping, and I'm still sat here hoping it'll go away:rolleyes: Its the same each and every year. If only you could get away with doing it all at 4pm on xmas eve!


My sister in law had her photo taken with her kids last week, sat in Santas grotto, everyone on FB was saying 'aahhh, and awwww' and I was the only one saying... 'but its the middle of flippin November':mad: I suppose I could have been slightly less on the Grinch side had it been in December of course:smt110

I've never tried that, so I couldn't comment - but shopping is always horrid, doesn't matter when or why.

Excepting buying bikes, bike stuff or tools obviously.

It depends on how much money I have to spend, but generally I'm with the donkey balls.

@ DJfridge

i spend probably over an hour and a half everyday surfing the internet for bike stuff i am looking at buying or getting. I have just spent £900 for a present for my self. (two tyres, exhaust, fairing). To me its Christmas shopping for myself / birthday present for myself. But its not Christmas shopping.... its buying stuff i want with an excuse to make me feel like a deserve it, or need to spend time looking at stuff i like.

christmas shopping there is only one purpose. Buy someone ELSE something they may want /need for christmas and as they generally dont like stuff i do its not fun, and even if it is bike related ill probably want one as well.

which is why i decided to leave it out, as i love christmas shopping for myself, cant wait till my exhaust getts here from the man dressed in red who with turn up in a red van to make me sign for it.
