Christmas Non-Shopping

One advantage of celebrating Hanuka is that you normally must do your shopping before the malls get too crowded for Christmas. So I enjoy avoiding the mall these days. Furthermore, my two daughters are at the age where they don’t want old dad picking out clothing (and other presents) for them, so my entire shopping for them consists of getting them gift cards at the local bank. These are Master Card debit cards in reality, good anywhere that accepts Master Card until the amount of money I specify is used up. How easy is that? Take that, mall shoppers.
