| Yep - when we've done it in the past, it's all been choreographed perfectly. We arrive early (with step-son in tow, who was too young to say no...) and each goes our separate ways, meet in front of the check stands with all our treasures within 10 minutes. Out to breakfast and back to bed! It's wonderfully exhilerating! But not this year.
I'm so bummed. Didn't do the annual Xmas tree ritual on Friday after Thanksgiving (after shopping at dawn), because we needed the space for all the furniture. We had to move everything out of the living room so the contractor could put hardwood down in that room. I stayed home this morning to wait. And wait....till I finally got in touch with the office who told me they wouldn't come unless I signed a copy of the estimate. But I didn't have an estimate. I got one today - supposedly they'll show up tomorrow. It just threw my whole system off kilter.
Now, when's Christmas again?
