It is not exactly last minute, but we're only a couple of days from Christmas and I would prefer to spend the real last minutes doing something besides panic shopping. The last couple of things on my shopping list will take me to a couple of the dreaded big-box stores...places where I must venture into the realm of distracted drivers, bumper-to-bumper traffic, and waiting lines at check-outs. It will be a mission into territory that I generally avoid like the plague...'consider it taking one for the Santa team...and then back Ho-Ho-Home!
