I really dislike Christmas shopping.

Hard to say out loud but I really don’t.

I either do it really early because I’m motivated at the end of November or I leave it until the last couple of days before.

Shopping centres and the retail environments just have, and won’t ever be something I enjoy.

Although this is the case, the process of brainstorming while you walk the footpaths can be quite invigorating, as you come up with solutions to unsolved problems.

It’s a serious pain attempting to buy for my parents as they already have everything.

This is the ultimate dichotomy.

Moreover, some of us do not know how to stop.

And some of us have the self control.

Luckily I’ve always been the one who exercises the strong will to say no.

Walk away.

As we know this is so applicable to everything we do, including gambling at a casino.

Shopping centres are designed to be addicting, giving us the emotional grab the lures us to keep swiping the credit card.

Again, walk away once you have everything you need.

When the list has been checked off.
