The Irrelevant Shopper

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. 'Tis the season to be shopping. Retailers are working like dogs, but soaking up profits. Folks are looking hard for parking spots, let alone for gift ideas.
I don't have to do any of it, however. My shopping is irrelevant.
Why? My kids get so many toys from other sources they don't remember how many I got them, or what they were. In fact, they get so many, I've told the gift givers to cut their spending in half, and give the other half to cystic fibrosis so my kids have a chance to enjoy more Christmas Days.
My spouse does all our shopping by choice. I provide some money. That way we're not both buying the same thing.
I don't shop for my spouse. I used to until everything I bought started getting exchanged. Then I thought it would be better to give gift certificates and/or cash. That's what I do now.
There's no one else to shop for. I guess I'm done.

Regards,
Irrelevant
