    Online or live and in person? Where do you fall?

    I kinda hate to admit, I went 100% online this year.

    PS: I'm an impulse shopper (in other words, if it hits me immediately, I buy it). That said, I'm notorious for finding "perfect" gifts.

    So, I asked my wife this morning, "What do you want for Christmas, honey?" She responds, "Wellll, since you asked, I'd really love a massaging chair." I'm, like, Ohh-Kayy(?)

    She does have Scoliosis, so that was a huge factor. Anyway, I set out to find the exacting chair for her. Costco had a killer deal on what seems the perfect chair/features.

    I researched for all of about 1/2 hour, and BANG! DONE!

    It seemed so sterile.

    Merry Christmas, baby. More surprise will be injected into your stocking stuffers.

    It's not. The Costco employees all sit in it before shipping it.

    Naked.

    I shopped both online and in person for the wife and that's usually how it works.

    What if ABM's wife really wished that she could be massaging Cher?

    Finished today. Appears nothing from brick and mortar stores this year. We bought a new house, so that's the bulk of our Christmas presents to each other.

    I'm really hard to shop for since I just buy what I want.

    So I mentioned to the wifey I bought a new G shock watch.

    She sent me a venmo for how much it cost and boom, that's my Christmas gift.

    They hired me as a substitute sitter.
    No Sly, that word is spelled with an 'h' and I no longer do that.
