4. This is the time of year I tend to hibernate

and since my family is gone and I don't have friends with kids to buy stuff for, "I aint buyin' it" is generally what I do from mid November to mid January.

This year will be a tough sell, especially for people with kids. Next year, stupid economic policies should be biting us hard and adults will be giving each other pounds of coffee or packs of Hershey bars, while kids will oranges and tangerines in their stockings instead of plastic crap from China. If something doesn't change, it could get that bad.
