Do you know what you are getting her? Do you need ideas?
My dad just dead-panned, "I hate to tell you, but he doesn't."
I definitely have to remember that.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, Tom, that just sucks. I hate getting called in to work on my day off and have it just totally muck up all my personal plans.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Oh, Tom, sorry for the Xpost. Can you get something for your niece on the way to see her, tomorrow, and worry about the rest of the family in the coming week?
What Cindy said, focus on getting your neice her gift tonight or tomorrow. You've still got a week to get your family their Christmas presents, so don't worry about it today.

Tom, are there errand-running services you could call from work to get to do some shopping for you?
I have not told my daughter about Santa, but she knows all about the idea. mr. flea is more in favor of the idea, and I don't have a dog in the fight. I was a Santa denier in childhood, myself (my mother comments on it in my baby book when I am 3.)
In my family we do all get stockings (still, as adults), but we haven't made any pretense of Santa in years. This is the first year there's a child of age for it to be relevant.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ugh, Tom. I am so sorry. Maybe you can skip the family thing and have just some Tom and neice time later on in the week? Or is it an obligatory family gathering?
In any case, {{{{Tom}}}

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor you, Tom! It's not too late to order everything online. Hey, speaking of your neice, is there any chance a picture of her was in a frame-seller's display in the Grand Central gift market?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Huh. I was was at the GCT gift fair earlier this week. I didn't see anything, but then again I wasn't looking for frames.

It wasn't in a frame, actually, but like a clippy thing. Anyway, it seems like it would only be likely if the store owner was a friend of the family or whatever, and you'd probably know that right? Not that I know your neice, but the little girl in the picture had Those Eyes.

I'm getting out of work now, so it looks like I'll have some time today to get something for my niece.
