It makes sense to be up early this morning. We have a mission to accomplish and so we will be out and shopping at an early hour. The earlier the better! Truth is, this is shopping the way I like it. Very early and no crowds. The clerks are more than polite and the shelves are full of bargains. It doesn't last, and by 10 o'clock the swelling crowds will have destroyed the charm of these early morning expeditions. But, by that time we should be through with our shopping and on our way out the doors and back to the safety of our car. If we didn't find what we wanted, we'll do it again tomorrow. Or the next day.
We're only looking for a couple of presents and some bargains to store away for another time. I don't think it will be all that difficult to accomplish.
Oh yes…one other thing. We'll be looking for a Christmas tree to replace our old one. The old one has seen its glory days come and go and it's time for a change. For this year it is still doing its job of course, lovingly decorated and looking quite glorious as long as you don't look at it critically. Squint.
