Christmas Shopping

We know Christmas falls on Dec. 25 each year and yet Dec. 21 and I am still shopping. However I did a great deal of crossing names of my shopping list tonight at Kohls. I even ran into my mom who was going to be shopping at the mall. She said it was so bad just entering Roosevelt Field's parking lot that she did one of her infamous turn arounds (where you aren't supposed to turn around) and headed straight to the local department stores (where I went first!)

I had gone into Marshalls first hoping to find a pair of snow boots. I found the perfect boot BUT that was the problem, BOOT not bootS. I felt like Cinderella walking around with one boot looking for its pair which was no where to be found. Needless to say I didn't meet a Prince Charming tonight either hehe. Fun night shopping with one of my girlfriends, and productively so because I only need to find something for my dad. He is usually the toughest when he doesn't say what he wants which I missed the memo this year if he did.

This will be the first year my mom said she can't finance the stocking stuffers. In all honesty now that she is a grandma it is kinda timely that she stop all the extras with all her kids. We are all still living at home with her, basically free room and board beats any stocking stuffer in my book.
