The Shopping Frenzy has Begun!

People who shop...in a dirt world store.
Why?
It's so easy to jump on Amazon or some other online store, find exactly what you're looking for within seconds, and have it gift wrapped and sent. I can see it if you're shopping in a local store with unique merch, but big box Christmas shopping seems silly to me.

I utilize Amazon a lot, but I still love browsing "dirt" stores. I like visiting shopping centers. I like "making a day of it" with a friend or family member. Heck, one of the things I miss most about not having my daughter living nearby is I can't have her jump in the vehicle and run around doing my shopping and errands with me.
I needed shampoo. And then we didn't have to time online shop for a tie-tack for tomorrow. :shrug:
I no longer have the faintest recollection of that was like.
Really? Huh. It's not that uncommon. Thing is...when I do finally get home, I never remember how I ended up in a gown in the first place.
I rarely go to a mall. I like to go to little walky shoppy areas that have local merchants with cool things that you can't get just anywhere.

(shrug) Easily half my shopping this season will be for *food*. A small part is decorations, which to be
fair, you really need to see yourself. And last is clothes on specials not advertised online - I've found
from experience that the inventory declared online NEVER jibes with what is on the rack.
That said, the most exasperating part of shopping at Christmas is the driving. I'm convinced more
and more that the reason holiday driving is horrendous is, there are millions of people who rarely
drive anywhere or ever near a store - who suddenly get the urge near Christmas.
It's all good, thx!

This is really true! My grandma stopped at the WaWa's to get some scratchers and beef jerky and a gallon of distilled water and she said it looked like somebody let loose a tarpaulin devil in there and it spinned around and knocked everything off the shelfs and into the floor and everybody was running around like Christmas idiots and grabbing up stuff and running out of the big hole in the wall that got collapsed from the car that ran into it. My grandma HATES Christmas shopping and don't know why everybody has to wait till the end to do it.
