Christmas Shopping

I, for the last several years, detested Christmas shopping and I know it was because I worked retail.  This year I have thoroughly enjoyed going out Christmas shopping and even fighting the crowds (which I have not really encountered too many).  Yesterday I helped my sister with her stamping class then we took my Mom out to lunch and then started our Christmas shopping.  We started about 12:30 and did not quit until almost 5:00.  Needless to say we wore my mom out and she was ready to go home but the good thing is she got almost all of her Christmas shopping done.  I got some done but still have a lot more to go.  Today I am going to do some more Christmas shopping; let the fun begin!
