7 Days to Shop

Only 7 days till Christmas! Here is a typical conversation at this time of the year. Friend/acquaintance/someone standing in the aisle: Do you have your Christmas shopping done? I've been done since September. Me: Congratulations! No, it's not Christmas yet. I still have plenty of time, 7 days. (God made the Universe in 6 days.) Besides, I enjoy the hustle and bustle, the rudeness, the standing in line, the really good bargains, and the pressure of the last-minute-shopping. F/A/S: Merry Christmas! Me: Happy New Year!
