Top 10 reasons for last minute Holiday shopping

  1. Let’s face it, all wives snoop around the house blatantly looking for their presents, so what choice do we have but to hold off on our shopping?!
  2. By ignoring the shopping frenzy until the last possible moment, we men are better able to focus on the true meaning of Christmas!
  3. Life is so stressful these days because we have to constantly make choices. Why not look after ourselves and beat the holiday stress by limiting our choices to what’s left in the local pharmacy at 6:30 pm on Christmas Eve?
  4. Like a fine stallion, or a world-class runner, most men put in their best shopping performances just under the clock!
  5. The best shoppers are those who examine the trends to see what gifts are “in” for this year. Obviously, the longer we wait, the more definitive the trend. Is it our fault that we are so thorough in our study that the “in” gifts are sold out when we go to buy them? NO! It is the greed of the big corporations and their heartless grab for cash that are to blame!
  6. By perpetuating the stereotypical myth of men being uncaring, last-minute shoppers, we are, in fact, making women feel better about themselves. Our last minute scrambles, therefore, show us to have great concern and sensitivity.
  7. At 6:30 pm Christmas Eve, whatever remains unbroken on the store shelves has proven its durability!
  8. If you buy your present too soon, you may lose the receipts-or not be able to locate the guy selling stuff out of the trunk of his car!
  9. How better to enter into the Christmas experience and share in Joseph’s feeling of panic when he found out there was no room in the inn, than to hear: “There is no more stock on the shelves?”
  10. It’s a hunting and gathering, survival of the fittest, genetic thing! We’re, therefore, just celebrating how God our Creator has made us!
