Few days left until Christmas. And the frenzy starts.
I thought I was pretty much done shopping for presents once I got toys for the younger members of my family. But it's the season for giving, and the older 'kids' made their dreams and wishes known. So low and behold I find myself hunting through malls and shopping areas of my town.
Some people just wait for prices to come down, procrastinating, hopeful that somehow the season will just vanish and living goes back to as usual (boring). And so we ALL jam pack the parking lots and streets to all the shopping malls where we live.
I guess one of the reasons why people love Christmas is, a lot of "out of the everyday" activities. True there is tradition, but we go out of the everyday of the year routine. Being kind to the less fortunate, singing in public to strangers, sharing good cheers with people you hardly even know.
Shopping for beautiful things ... not for yourself but for others.
Does it sound crazy ? It sounds a little off to me. But that's just perfect. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
