*This year I'm giving up on the idea that I will actually knit for anyone who doesn't live in my house.
*This year I'm not buying ANY MORE wrapping paper. I don't care how cute the penguins are or how jolly the polar bears look. I have lots of paper at home. AND I know where it is. AND I also have tape.
*This year I am buying gifts online. If I can't buy it online you're getting a gift certificate. And that gift certificate better exist at places that I have to go anyway. If they don't sell Buffalo Wild Wings certificates at Wal Mart, Walgreens or Dillons you're not getting one.
*This year I am not baking any cookies. Or pies. Or cakes. If I am absolutely forced to I will unwrap a family-sized box of Rice Krispy Treats, cut them in half and put red and green frosting on them.
*This year I am not going to ANY STORE the week before Christmas. This might mean that I have to steal toilet paper from work and we order pizza more than once, but I'm willing to risk it.
*This year I am not decorating the whole house. There will be a tree, there will be a wreath. There will be a snowman candy dish, but only because I found it stashed in a closet and it's on the table already.
*This year if you photograph me and my underpants are showing or I have something hanging from my nose and you don't immediately delete the photograph I will put your camera in my car and drive away.
Merry Christmas.

You crack me up!
You can gift certificates to a TON of places at Dillon's! They have a little gift certificate rack between the cosmetics and health foods. Buy them all there. (I saw this at the Dillon's at 37th and Woodlawn.)
I'm doing too much knitting for others. I don't know why. I never have before.
This is an excellent plan. You should patent it. It will bring peace and joy to the world.
What an excellent holiday manifesto.
I have decided that this year to release my dislike of paying shipping charges because it is better to buy online and pay shipping that to have to set foot in an actual store.
Great plan!
Stick to it!
I am also not buying any wrapping paper, not one lick of it even if I run out (which I'm sure I won't) and have to wrap in tinfoil or something.
