although i try to do the bulk of my holiday shopping online, there are usually some items i still have to go to the store for. and combating the crowds and lines and let's face it -- hysteria -- is not how i'd choose to spend my sunday, but what choice did i really have?
five hours and 5 stores later, i realized a couple things: 1) most stores carry the same exact gift items that are relatively priced the same (but can be wrapped differently which appear to cause the prices to vary), and 2) it is possible to be sick of shopping. the only thing that kept me going was my mission to finish up my list, but i still couldn't find one last thing. feeling dejected (not to mention tired and hungry), i resigned to try again on another day.
i seriously can't wait to retire my credit card for the season.
in other news, we got our tree today! (a week before christmas is progress, considering last year we picked ours up on december 23rd and decorated on christmas day).
