kyburgThe catalogs have begun to arrive. Ah, fall. The sound of falling...paper.
My big Christmas shopping secret...I rarely shop. I order everything online, plotting and scheming all year. Oh yessss. Precioussessss...I love Christmas and all the gifting that goes on. Buying? Bah. Making. Plotting. Thinking.
I have a department of people at work, the majority of which don't celebrate Christmas as a Christian holiday - frankly, I suspect the majority faith in our department is likely to be Hindu. If I checked. We're well represented by just about everything, including the worship of the Sun Server...it loves us. No, really. Well, we hope it does. We depend on it for so much, you see. *smirks*
But the big suck comes in when you know *exactly* what to get someone...and you need their SSI# for it. *blink blink* Oh, how do you make that happen and keep it a surprise? Ask everyone on your list by default?
Maybe if I misdirect a tad. If I need this tidy bit of info - and if you can trust me with it - I plan to do any one of a number of things.
You'll be getting:
1. Stock.
2. Savings Bonds.
3. Auto Club Membership.
4. Savings account.
5. Some kind of insurance you can't afford yourself.
6. Real Estate. (You laugh. Check eBay.)
7. ..
It will be some kind of legal, financial instrument. Okay?
But if you want potholders, I can oblige you there too. *snark*
