Random thoughts about Santanalia Shopping

womzilla1. For some reason, I am really dragging my feet about both doing my own shopping and about sending people my Santanalia list. I know more or less what's going to be on the list--mostly DVDs of TV series (especially The Tick and Firefly, both of which have episodes I haven't seen) and a couple of movies (1776, Pirates of the Carribean, Real, i.e. Extended, Version of The Two Towers), and probably some books, but I just haven't written it down. (Have I mentioned how annoying I find it that B&N.com doesn't have gift registries? It's one of the few services Amazon provides that I actually miss.)
Not doing the shopping for other people surprises me less--for many years, I've not had the habit of shopping in the sense of "going out and looking around in stores to buy things". I do almost all of my purchasing on-line, and I don't enjoy browsing online stores--they're great for get in, get it, get out, but not so much for the hey, that looks interesting, I should get that.
I suspect the fact that for the first year in I think a decade we're driving, not flying, for the holiday has done something to with my foot-dragging. Because we're not flying, we weren't forced in November to sit down and confront the pending holiday to the point of making definite, hard-to-change plans. As a result, I never really switched into Santa mode.
2. My family is not particularly easy to shop for, but then, I don't know if there are any which are.
3. I cannot express how grateful I am to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Thank you, my dearest dear poojie.
