Christmas Shopping

Today. Shopping. All day. For Christmas presents for the grandkids.

Tired, tired, tired, tired.

I have blisters on both my feet.

And I'm still missing one present.

I noticed that the stores do not seem as full this year as they have on other occasions. In the third place, IKEA, I found parking in the first aisle I turned into. The line-ups went faster than usual; most people, even in IKEA, were carrying bags rather than pushing loaded carts.

And at 5:30, when I finally headed home, the traffic was sparse and flowing smoothly.

I wonder what that means.

Photo; crabapples, Strathcona, this summer. Just because they look Christmassy.

When I had my own tree, I put them up in pint jars, with a standard light syrup and cinnamon sticks. They made an excellent garnish for holiday meals.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
