Getting gifts for Christmas is like looking for cops at a Habs riot

Maybe my metaphor is a bit exaggerated; finding cops at a Habs riot is probably even easier than getting proper Christmas gifts. Usually, I just turn to the Mirror or any other newspaper to get my sources for gifts, but it seems this year we've been left on our in Montreal, no one is publishing direct instructions on what to buy for Christmas. Hopefully this will change this week, with all the papers coming out on Thursday. Until then, do you best for your shopping, and don't buy too many useless things. Keep it to the absolute minimum.
