Shopping

People are absolutely insane when it comes to shopping for a sale. I started to try to go to the big stores for the sales, but I soon found that there were other stores with sales that were not advertised so I left the crowd and enjoyed the peace. It was nice to just get away today and get all the shopping in that I could, but after 8 hours, it was time to head home. Christmas just isn't the same anymore now that I am in charge of so many things and it is getting more stressful that my kids are getting older and wanting the hot toy for the year that everyone else wants. I listening to the radio and people were talking about their traditions and it made me stop and think what traditions do I have with my family at Christmas. I forget now that I am the one who needs to think of these things for the simple traditions like decorating and baking that the family can do together. I am hoping now that they are getting older and no more baby years that we can start doing more of that as a family so that they can have the fun family memories.
