    As the title says, I need help. Serious fcuking help.

    Been working solid the last few weeks, it being Christmas an' all. Too tired to buy presents 'n' sh1t.

    Now, all of a sudden, Christmas is upon me, and not a present bought.

    My question is: how or where can I buy and wrap pressies in the next four hours or so before everyone wakes up?

    Thanks in advance. :(

    Buy the holy delph (chalices and shit) from a priest.
    If the priest refuses to sell, cry rape*
    Pass it off as something you found in a wacky antique store; hand the loot out to relatives liberally.






    *no, don't do that.

    You'll probably find petrol stations/24 hour convenience stores open. Buy them scratchcards and put them in a card. Or phone credit. Or buy lots of sweets and chocolate. Tin foil works well if you can't find wrapping paper.

    Or you can buy them stuff online. A subscription to a magazine? An album or two on Itunes? Playstation network credit? Hotel or spa gift vouchers? A website subscription?

    Get some Internet deals for them. Otherwise it's leftover sweets from 24hour stores.

    Tell them you've been really busy the last few weeks, and things were too hectic for you so you couldn't manage to get them gifts. Say you'll get them something in the sales. You could offer to to take them out to buy something they like themselves, or to deliver it to their houses.

    Unless this is presents for your kids I'm sure they'll understand.

    You've missed a trick there, Millionaire Raffle for the adults, phone credit for the kids.

    Nah, drove past Maynooth earlier. Didn't stop. I'm goin' with the cancer excuse. Or maybe AIDS.

    Should see me through to the new year. I'll think of something after then.
