Christmas Shopping is Done

Tweet

When you need to be gone for a period of time from the apartment so they can plow the parking lot it is hard to do that much shopping. It really was for me. I don't need a lot personally, and I circled Wal-Mart deciding on the final gifts for my kids. That took the most time, but after two of the mandatory hours needed to be away I was heading for the checkout stand. I still needed another hour. What to do. Seeing the gas gauge heading very close to E helped with a few more minutes and then on to one more store. With winter now visible outside my windows I thought it might be a good idea to get some winter boots. I've gone the last several years without any boots and cold wet feet was the result. Not anymore. I now have boots and a couple of warm socks to go with them as they are just a tad big - half a size, but they fit good across the foot, and they look nice, which is good because they were the only pair of boots in the store that were wide and in a size that fit. I came home a half hour before the end time, thankful to see the parking lot in front of my apartment was plowed and I didn't need to figure out what else I could do to waste time before I could come home. Though it wasn't a waste of time as I do have my Christmas shopping done now. All I need to do now is wrap it all and I should have enough wrapping paper for it. My next big purchase will be Christmas dinner. That's it. I don't need anything else before then. How was your day? Thanks for reading.
