So Who has started Christmas Shopping?

I'm finished!! the wife hasn't finished for everybody else though!

My wife will be VERY happy with my gift to her. I purchased a remote start fr her car and had it installed. I put the remotes in a box and she will open it on Christmas Day.
 
Cool Mule, brilliant!

I am the luckiest guy in the world. My wife and I many, many, years ago, agreed to skip this exercise of present exchanges, for all holidays, anniversarys and birthdays. If we want something big, we get it together, but a lot of the time we just exchange a smooch and acknowledge the occaision. I appreciate the people that really get into it, but it just never has worked like that for us.

But, y'all have a very Merry Christmas, however you do it up!

How did you get your wife to take the dog house? Obviously, the question has particular relevance for me.

Great suggestion, when I lived in Oregon there was always 7-11 to fall back on, they don't have that down in Houston - we do, however have MickeyDees (evil laugh).
 
Almost done! Finished the other day for my wife with my wonderful daughter and had a great day. Hated the shopping thing in the mall but as always, went to just two stores and limited out. Now just to harvest one more deer to donate to the food pantry and find some solders to comp their meals (thanks FB great idea) and that should do it.

May you all have a blessed Christmas and safe New Year.

I bought my wife a drill press for Christmas. If she has no need of it, I guess I could keep it in my workshop.GPE

No Christmas shopping here. I did get the Christmas cards in the mail this year.

Mom is 86 and has requested I knit her a pair of mittens, she lost the gloves from last year.

Bummer, the gloves were a work of art. : (

Stepmom doesn't want anything, or my brother. Son is at his dad's and won't get anything until he leaves (long, bad story).

So, I will be buying myself an electric drill for the holidays as one can never have enough power tools.

Amen to that! As fatboy said, enjoy the drill and there's plenty of ways to do that. :D :censored
