The Christmas Shopper

Before I resume the profiling of the Bolt movie, let's take a detour to the Christmas shopper.
In this time where people see Christmas decor in many places where they go, you would often hear the refrain of "I bought this and I bought that". Then there is also the refrain of the "I did my shopping months ago". Questions such as "Do you think so-and-so would like this?" echo in many shops and homes.

Yes, Christmas shopping shows up our different personalities too.

The last minute shopper is the typical "I" who lives for the moment and doesnt do much planning. Sometimes the "I" gives gifts which reflect well on themselves. Hearing the recipient squeal with delight is a joy to the "I".

The "C" would plan ahead, even from the middle of June, if the giving of Christmas presents were considered important to "C". More often than not, to the "C", it is a shopping list that has to be completed. Names and perhaps gifts would have already been identified before hitting the shops.

The "D" would probably delegate the task to the spouse if there was one! Shopping is a chore that has to be done. "Let's get it over with," says the "D". There are more important things to attend to.

The "S" would give gifts that are significant for the recipient. They would try to spend time over each gift, making sure that each person had something they liked, rather than what the "S" liked. Some "S" would even buy gifts all year round to give to their special ones. They are such faithful, loyal friends.


The "S-C" combination would show up especially well in the making of handmade presents. Their personal touch of class and care would show in their gifts, even in the wrapping of them.
Whatever your profile is, it's a good time to make an effort to do something for someone in a way that would relate best to them, showing them that they are valuable people.
