Hitting the mall today? Not me!
Like many guys, my biggest shopping day this year will be Monday, December 24th, at around 4 in the afternoon. Ladies, you want to find a bunch of males, each with a "deer in the headlights" look in their eyes, and fear in their hearts, heading straight to the "Gift Card" rack (they still can't think of what to buy their wives or girlfriends) - go to any mall or big box store late in the afternoon on Christmas Eve! It's quite humorous!

I'm with you and the guys! I'm early if I start on Dec 21st! My problem is I am so excited when I buy a present that I can't wait to give it! Most gifts are open in my house before the BIG DAY, so I am better to wait on the purchase than to end up with nothing left!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! And I am not out shopping either! I am getting ready for an Open House tomorrow.....attended by myself and maybe some other anti~shopping people. I'm serving Apple Cider and muffins....yummy!
