It's almost Christmas

So its the 9th of December. I work tonight and I have alot of work to do because I'm off the next 2 days and I would really like to take them off since I only have 1 day off next week. I have to finish my shopping this week, because the next week is Christmas and I only have Christmas day off. I'm going to ask my boss if I can have off the Saturday after but I don't think he is going to say yes. But I can ask right? I'm trying to get John to help me pick out Christmas presents for his grandchildren. I ordered a book from amazon and I haven't gotten it yet. Its for a Christmas present and if I don't get it I have to get something else to replace it. I think I scared the heck out of John the other night. I told him he needed to record the book for his grandchildren that I bought from Hallmark. He even mailed it yesterday. I work Saturday night and Sunday night and Wednesday night and Thursday night next week. Man who the heck is the boss here.
