Doing things in advance is not common a lot of people get gifts last minute like my bf who's still yet to buy anything but i got my gifts delivered weeks ago cos I'm a nerd

By extrapolation you are also a nerd

for real. statistically speaking, the average person waits until the last minute to shop, travel, wrap, wake up, go to bed, make a meal, send an email, make a phone call, find a seat, use the bathroom, do literally anything. for every 1 person on top of their shit, there are 5 who get into a knife fight trying to buy the last Super Diarrhea Robot XL for Del Junior at a Texas Walmart on Xmas eve.

the transportation and logistics sectors are a nightmare during the season that reaches its crescendo during the actual holidays themselves. not to mention, packages that miss the deadline still have to be shipped ASAP.

I won’t reject that label, but I thought we would have set the bar a bit higher than basic planning to be a nerd. I mean that standard seems low enough to be a tripping hazard.

Doing it that way would take too much of the merry out of it for me, and it would feel like a chore. I find that counterintuitive to the spirt of the season.

Merry Christmas!
