Aah. It's the season to be jolly--and be stuck in traffic, be trampled by aggressive shoppers, and be anxious about muggers and pickpockets, be wrestled by other commuters, and/or be ripped-off by taxicabs. Christmas means fun but could also mean quite a handful things to do and go through to get everything ready.

If you are a total genius like me, you probably haven't started Christmas shopping yet even when we are already this close *putting my hands together* to the Christmas Eve. This is me every year, people. I haven't learned my lesson.
