Things To Do This Week.

Hurry Up With Kanye's Croissants.

Christmas month officially starts today.

So, yes, it's time to get ready for the 24-hour all-Christmas radio stations, the way-too-long lines at every store, the great red-and-green takeover and an overabundance of desserts.

Actually, we're not complaining about that last one.

We are, however, here to remind you that there are only 24 shopping days left until you realize we didn't get you anything.

No, that's not entirely true, either. Helping you plan yet another week has got to count for something, right? I mean, it beats a lump of coal, for sure.
