Apparently 7 out of 10 shoppers today will be men buying Christmas pressies. I did chuckle when I heard this until I realised that I've been pretty poor this Christmas so I've reserved a camera for the Mrs and have to now brave the shops on Christmas Eve. Parking up is the worst bit, took me nearly 20 minutes to get parked at Sainsbury's last Friday.
Anyone else left it a bit late?

Not even started mine, just off out. I'm an Xmas eve veteran, it's not busy that's a myth
It's a great day to shop and prevents procrastination

pretty much this although i did get dragged round all the shops umpteen times to carry all the bags. She got tge majority done in October. Wife has done everything and even decorated one of the bedrooms to turn it into a playroom for all the toys. I did offer to cook Xmas diner obv knowing full well she would not let me. |

From all the guys I've spoken to, and myself included, the stereotype of the man rushing about on Xmas Eve will soon be replaced by the one of the man spending 20 minutes and putting no thought into one big session on Amazon, but early.

Taken a high risk strategy for today. Have to take my mum into town for some stuff, she is also the only person I don't have a present for yet, so a bit of ninja shopping is on the cards lol.
