"Holiday(s) Shopping"

MorganGrayson · 11-29-2005

This morning, at 7AM, I ventured out for my very first - and probably last - holiday(s) shopping in a brick and morter store, if WalMart can be described thusly. (I shop online, as it's easier, it opens up the world to me, and I have the hots for my hunky Philappino UPS guy.) However, I needed wrapping paper, etc., and the yearly addition to my angel/Father Christmas collection. This year it's a gorgeous angel, wearing fake fur, with golden wings and long blonde hair. We were double charged for her, a WalMart tradition. It's such a tradition that the checker, who we'd made laugh, said - without thinking - "Why did it have to happen to *you* people?" Poor thing. Yes, the only nice people to go through there got screwed. Not to worry, nice checker, the total sow in "Customer nonService" took care of it.

I got to wondering: for those of you that are participating in this the most expensive of seasons, how far along are you in your shopping?
