Finished Shopping
Got up early this morning and wen to the last couple of stores to finish my shopping. The kids were happy to stay at home and watch cartoons, play video games, and lounge around the house with their dad while I went out.
The stores were not nearly as crowded as I expected. I think that people just don’t have as much money to spend this year and they don’t have all the credit cards and crazy high credit limits any more. So I breezed through the stores and got home in just a few hours.
Tonight will be the marathon gift wrapping session. I learned years ago to not put that off until Christmas Eve. It always takes longer than you expect and then you are up until dawn and too exhausted on Christmas morning to enjoy watching them tear up everything you worked so hard to make look pretty and enticing.
