Whenever I shop, I go very early in the morning to avoid the crazy crowds. I hate driving around looking for a place to park. It is kind of fun sometimes, though, just to walk around the mall and feel the holiday excitement... as long as I don't have to buy anything. LOL!
I'm afraid I don't find much exciting about "the holidays" these days. I dread them, in fact. Even moreso since the PC socialists have demanded the neutralization to just a day to celebrate spending money instead of the birth of Jesus, which is, after all, the whole reason we have a "holiday" in the first place. I used to love Christmas, although not the insanity of it. Now it's just another opportunity for the malignant left to trample our American traditions and profane the sacred. The whole thing just makes me sick.
