I can’t believe Christmas is just three days away. I feel like I’m just getting rid of the heartburn from Thanksgiving and here we are with the biggest shopping season of the year almost over.

I had a hard time coming up with a Christmas list this year. My stereo receiver aside, I have not had any epic technology failures this year and I’ve got all the “i” products one should need for a while (though I wouldn’t turn down AppleTV at this point). I am looking forward to some “me” time once the project I am engaged in at work starts to ramp down a bit towards the end of next week. Perhaps some unexpected tickets to a movie or sporting event or even a gift certificate to a nice restaurant. Yeah, I can always use those. Tailgating tools are a staple for this New England Patriots fan. Some new clothes for the guy who buys them only occasionally.

This is all to say that those looking for gift ideas for me, and you know who you are, you’re going to need to be creative this year.

Merry Christmas!
