Up at 3. Showered. Hot chocolate machine is busted so just hit the road at 3:25. Did 90 mph on the 405 freeway because it was my private driveway and I could. Boston Pops (Arthur Fieldler) playing "Sleigh Ride" on 103.5 woke me up. Then they played Aiken's "O Holy Night" and messed with my groove.
Arrived at Kohl's. 4 years ago there were 4 of us at the doors. There were hundreds -- hundreds -- of people there, including a very pregnant woman in front of me in a wheelchair so she wouldn't go into labor. Hello??? Got 2 things, checked out and bailed fast. People were buying such random stuff...why buy slippers that are on sale until 1 p.m. at 4 a.m.? I don't get it.
Went to WalMart next. Twice as many people in line as last year. Very organized and efficient. No rushing, grabbing or pushing but A LOT of people -- too many. Just bought basics that were a steal (pjs, jeans for kids, sweatshirts) and left.
Hot chocolate and a donut. A big hot chocolate. Big donut too. Good times.
Home Depot: 99 cent poinsettias that are big and gorgeous. No crowds, no rush. But everyone there was buying flatfulls of poinsettias. Smart people.
Target: Again, twice the people in line. Met some nice gals and chatted with them for 45 minutes. Plenty of stock. Very organized. Bought -- well, can't remember what I bought. Must have been important.
The rest of the morning: Walgreens for 2fer webkinz, back to Kohls to get some clothes, Disney Store to do some shopping for my sister.
Returned home with a full car and a smokin' wallet. Another successful -- but crazy crowded -- year.

Slippers aren't randon! I bought my slippers at Kohls and I was done shopping 10 minutes before you...so there
You need to post more often. I noticed that the lines at Target and Walmart were insane, but no one at Kohls.
