Oh December....you're so BUSY!! Sometimes I wish I could just fast forward to Christmas Eve and skip all the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas except for Dad's birthday and the Cowles Family Christmas Party. I mean, I get pretty much all my shopping done in October anyway, so it makes perfect sense. But alas, it is not so. I was telling my mom that I do love Christmas, but I detest the month of December. There are so many parties and events, so many goodies and not enough time.
Each December, our office gives each employee a shopping day. I usually take the day to do whatever because I'm usually done shopping before or right after Halloween. Today was my shopping day and I actually did some shopping...not for me, but for my dad. I went to the Gateway and then down to Fashion Place Mall. I loathe the mall. I felt bad, because I told some guy that I was busy and kept walking after he asked me to come to his booth. I knew his trick and wanted none of it; I've dealt with that business before and I didn't want their product then and don't want it now. Needless to say, the mall was a nightmare, but I was successful and found what my dad needed. Hopefully mom likes it. I have a hard time shopping and I haven't seen an episode of "What Not To Wear" lately, so I was nervous. Luckily the salesgirl helped me and I must say, she had the best customer service I have ever witnessed. I would shop at that store again :)
Christmas is one of my favorite times of year; it's just very busy and rushed and I feel that each year it gets busier and busier. I just want the time to really reflect and in the words of Stevie Wonder, think about "what Christmas means to me." So Merry Christmas to you and yours!
