Dear Christmas Shopping,
You are one of my most delightful pastimes. I look forward to spending more time with you during the next several weeks!
Sincerely,
ECK
I really do love Christmas shopping. Especially since college: after the fall quarter (arguably one of the most stressful of the year) is over, I can stress shop basically to my heart's content without feeling one iota of guilt because I am (mostly...) buying things for everyone else! Plus, its fun to feel like one of those ladies in the movies walking around with all the bags (or, "packages" as they say in old Hollywood).
However, the most unromantic part of Christmastime, I have found, is the infamous Black Friday aka Christmaspallooza. Oh my. Obviously, the people who just have to have the 83475 inch t.v. or the great deal on somewhat crusty towels will need storm Target pre-crack of dawn. But let me assure you, unless you want the "great deal" on large electronics (which will still end up costing several hundred dollars anyways, and admit it, you're buying it for yourself...) there is every reason to avoid the unbrushed, sleep-deprived masses the day after Thanksgiving.
