Our little spate of holiday shopping yesterday was quite productive. We're usually pretty set by this point in the season (thanks to MrsBlue... before marriage I was an unrepentant December 23 shopper), but before yesterday we only had managed to find a couple of gifts for the folks on our list. It will probably take longer to find the few remaining items than it took to find the bulk we've now amassed, but at least this does take some of the pressure off.
