Long December

by The Momma

Yes yes yes I know the month hasn’t actually started, but it feels as though it starts right after Thanksgiving doesn’t it. This year I’m working retail. Not the place you want to be in December, believe me. It’s one of those ‘Don’t try this at home’ deals. Holiday shoppers are the pits. They are grumpy and nasty and urgh. So irritating. Hello people this is the Season of Giving. Not the Season of shoving and pushing and taking and screaming. Get with the Joy of the Season folks.

I have started my shopping, mostly online. Taking the easy way out. The extra shipping charges are well worth it to not have to go out and shop with the masses. We’ve figured out gifts for all the kids except one. This stepson hasn’t been coming to visit us much as his mother doesn’t make them come if they say they don’t want to. Anyway it feels like we’ve hardly seen him in the last six months and I’m utterly clueless what he would want for Christmas. Hopefully we see him this weekend, but I’m not holding my breath.
