I can't believe how much traffic there is outside. 3 days before Xmas and everybody only cares about themselves it seems. I went to Wal Mart and this lady was waiting for a space to open up and had a string of cars several blocks long waiting behind her. Where's a cop when you need one? Couldn't this lady look over her shoulder and see how much traffic was behind her?

Buying gifts can be such a pain plus look at all the problems that are created like traffic jams, car accidents, theft, etc.. I have learned a much easier way rather than me having to call everybody and find out what things they want or if they have grown what their current size is I just get them a gift card to their favorite store. No more having to spend over a hundred dollars in shipping, no more having to go out in traffic, no more wasting of so much time shopping for everybody else but myself. How much of the stuff we buy ends up being returned?

I then went to the post office and was surprised at the long line of people all with big packages they had to send out. Don't they realize how many of these things will be returned right after the holiday? Some kid gets a new computer from his parents and all he wants is the money that was spent for the computer. What about all the kids that are secretly looking around the house trying to find out what everybody got them?

With gift cards the recipients get only what they want to get and all clothes will be clothes that they try on and know that they fir them. I remember because of my work I had no time to shop and I had to spend over 6 hours in line at the local Wal Mart on Christmas eve. Gift cards eliminate this hassle entirely
