Thus far
Dodging rain to get my mother's walks accomplished. As always, she's cheerful and fairly motivated, barring cruel winds.
The only thing I really like about this time of year is finding a few things I know people will really enjoy eating, drinking, reading, or wearing. Found several today for loved ones, and avoided locations where full-on consumeritis might be exhibited. How anyone can actually enjoy shopping, particularly at this time of year, is unfathomable. The music and decorations are mostly cliche and obnoxious, and the sweaty tired greedy faces belong to people who have no excuse for their behavior. They do not really need to be shopping, the whole thing is a house of credit cards. Stop whining about it, don't shop. It isn't necessary.
So easy to solve this stupid mess!

time to invest in Master Card. They are publically traded...and Visa will go public next year.
We don't do Christmas, and it makes life so much easier. Of course, the stores are full of people who do do Christmas, which is why we also avoid stores.
