Went into town yesterday to try and get some prezzies bought.....what a f*ckin' NIGHTMARE!

I couldn't find one single thing on my list, got bumped, nudged, pushed and sworn at for 3 solid hours... how I managed not to punch someone, I'll never know!

The ONLY good thing about it all was, being only a degree or two above freezing, a lot of young ladies (and more than a few older ones, too!) had a couple of extra "buttons" on their shirts/jumpers etc.

Going back in today.....gonna dig my leathers out though, AND wear my motocross boots and helmet.....think I'll be safe this time?!?!

Wish me luck!

It seems to me that the Christmas holidays bring out the grumps in people. I know that anytime someone seems hateful to me I simply look at them, smile and say....
"Merry Christmas!"

Good for you. When I had that part time job, I know I always tried to put on a very cheery face with people. It didn't cost anything and it's been so rewarding when I've seen some of my former, 'regular' customers who say they've really missed how I could perk up their mornings. Makes you feel good inside.

Merry Christmas, DM! Merry Christmas.

Happy holidays Pixies

Shopping this time of year is a process. I have DS done- now I just have to get everyione else. Grrr!!! LOL

But I have to gear up for it. I know if I wanna make it out with my sanity- I have to be prepared to ..... wait, be bumped, cut off and disappointed.

On the bright side- its all worth it x-mas day. Good luck to all on their shopping sprees.

Hugs,
Barb

I shopped online at a place that allowed me to ship all over to seperate addresses and pick the delivery date , for FREE. I anly have my closest loved ones to shop for at this point.

I'm gonna shop online too. What's that addy Lil?

And dm? I'm proud of you! Being of the male gender, I am surprised that you aren't more like most men I know. Shopping on Christmas Adam (day before x-mas Eve...get it?) or Christmas Eve day is more to Mr. Lixy's way of life. I think he likes to shop in a frenzy! *shrugs*

Happy Holiday's EVERYONE!
