It is getting close to Christmas and I usually write a column for individuals that have a running partner or friend that exchanges gifts. It is still two weeks away and I know some people wait until the time to buy a gift is only two days away. I knew one person that waited until Christmas Eve to buy a gift. The only downside to that is the gift idea you had in mind may be sold out or if you wait until Christmas Eve the store may close early. If the gift needs to be mailed you have five days to buy the gift, wrap the gift, wrap the gift for mailing, and to stand in line with all the other people that waited to mail the gift.
