early shopping spree

i start my Christmas shopping
early.
but like
most years,
the first three or four nights
out at the mall,
or searching online,
i buy things for me.
it's a process.
i'm doing research,
getting ideas,
but why not a new laptop
for the other room.
maybe a new tv.
there's still time
for other people.
i have the wrapping paper
already,
somewhere
in a basement closet,
next to the snow globe,
the tinsel and the metal pan
for the tree.
