I hear you. Christmas shopping is for the birds, yo. I totally never feel Christmas until like the last five days. For me it's all about eating chocolate chip cream cheese bars on Christmas Eve. Other than that, it's just a lot of work and much more stress. Argh! I hate this time of year, I was telling this to my mom. I do have two nephews, and it's fun to see things through their eyes, but I agree that overall X-mas is most definitely for kids.
