Oh, poor you, DX. I still have stuff to do, too. This will be of little help this year, but for the future? Gift bags. Yes, they're more expensive, but they're a blessing to the procrastinator, the wrapping-challenged, and the recycle-minded alike.

(It might be some help this year as the stores are still open, but usually it's too late to find reasonably priced ones, and if you need large ones, you're probably out of luck).

Are you at your parents' or Paul's? ETA: For Christmas stuff, I mean.

Both.

We also have to find two stockings, which is proving harder.

I have gift bags. They look like Charlie Brown's gift bags. I also have lots o'tape.

Like, find within your house? Or find within Seattle?

Also, weirdly, Manchester really reminded me of Seattle. The ten minutes I saw of it.

The nice thing about this year is that I only have one gift to wrap--for the people I'm staying with--and all my souveniers for people double for Christmas. Of course, they don't get them until February, but it's the thought.

Seattle. I thought we still had two around here, but we appear to have returned them to my parentals.

Lee, I posted my itinerary (sort of, anyway) in F2F! I hope you'll be around, too. Looks like the best day to catch me in LA will either be on Saturday the 16th, Sunday the 17th

Hopefully it will work out. If I am not in Ohio (and it looks like I may be going earlier), maybe we can do something with other Laistas on the 17th.

DX, give the worst ones to the little kids. They have their priorities on straight, and care about the inner-beauty of their presents.

other Laistas on the 17th.

Actually, that's a great idea. I wanted to catch lunch with Kat before I headed down to Jen's anyway. Maybe we could all get together then?

I'm sure we can work something out, Kristin.

Merry Christmas
