Coool. It's Christmastime.

I'm not doing much in the way of gifts this year - a couple people are getting packages, I have stuff for my parents.

I did all the toys for the Salvation Army toy drive, and that was a lot of fun, and I feel really good about it, too. Plus giving to the food drive at work.

My cards aren't done yet (though the packages I sent today have those people's cards in them), but I can get those done by the end of the weekend.

I told Scott I didn't know what to get him, and asked what he wanted. We've established that neither of us is getting anything for the other. ;) He can't think of anything he wants, and I'm happy with that answer.

There are a couple games I want, and people who know I want them; if I don't get them, they won't cost very much to buy after Christmas.

Sometimes, I really love the holidays. Except for the whole traffic part, of course. It took me ten minutes to get from Main & 99 in Tigard, where the plumbing store and the Catholic school are, to the strip mall with the shipping place and Bi-Mart in it. Ten minutes. That's 1-3 minutes in normal traffic, depending on how bad your luck is with left-turners and lights. On the other hand, at least I wasn't going any further on that road. ;)
