Kat...Yay!

I think that's turning into the way a lot of people are shopping these days. I get that, too. I will order some things on-line, things that are hard to find items or if a store is out of a particular thing I'm looking for, but I like that first holiday rush that comes for Black Friday Morning. <br /><br />Then stopping to prop up your feet as you sip coffee or hot cocoa and grumble about how crowded every store is, all the walking, the blasting Christmas tunes playing through the speakers, all these things bring Christmas to mind.Kathy Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440759802997389459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-11098761034179590642010-12-17T08:22:00.417-08:002010-12-17T08:22:00.417-08:00Oh, you brave soul.

I'm no...I haven't experienced Black Friday. I'm not big on malls and prefer online shopping. I do like to wonder around the mall when it isn't packed with miserable souls. I like smiling at people--even the ones who don't smile back. It gives me pleasure even if they think I'm a loon. I do love the lights though. And I do like to people watch :)Toni Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348843511453338339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-18997160812863918992010-12-17T07:35:35.668-08:002010-12-17T07:35:35.668-08:00You're a brave woman.

Somehow that meal, even if it's simply a cup of coffee and a donut, is PERFECT! You are off your feet. The coffee warms you up. You sit and chat about your purchases and plans for the holiday season. It's a magical moment. Thanks for bringing it to light, Kathy.Maureen A.
