Internet, run to the calendar.
It is Dec. 1. That means only 24 shopping days left (or 25 if you are the Biggest Procrastinator Ever). And if you are Jewish and you have children, you REALLY need to start hopping. You've got three days until Hanukah.
The following realization is pretty much my annual sentiment: I am not ready. Brief panic has already set in, especially when some friends and family announce, "Oh, we finished all our shopping back in July." Smack. Then there was Santa Claus out at the stores today, all decked out in his red suit in 70-degree weather, and don't you know he was about to sweat to death? "Excuse me, dear cherub, while I wipe this flop sweat off of my head."
Internet, for the record, what do you wish for this holiday season?

We haven't really been able to do much shopping. We're still dealing with that age-old prejudice against dogs in stores. (Petsmart lets us in, but no other place understands us.)So, we've decided to make our own gifts for our favorite people this year. It will be like giving them a little part of ourselves, and that really has more meaning anyway.
