Christmas Shopping

It is a Thursday not a weekend. We specifically choose a week day morning to do our yearly one day Christmas shopping. Fewer people equals less possibility of being around sick people. In preparation of our big Christmas shopping day today, I began my yearly viewing of Christmas DVDs. White Christmas yesterday. Love Actually today. Home Alone tomorrow. Puts me in the mood. We have been listening to Christmas music in the car since Thanksgiving. I'm not feeling it yet but hopefully the spirit of the season will begin to seep into my body today.

We dress up to shop. We notice that we get special treatment. We feel festive. 

Lists are made. Checkbook has fresh checks and new pens. We are ready.

Let the shopping begin!
