Have you started your holiday shopping?

Are you done?

Me I bought my first item yesterday and I did it from my computer. I have to tell you if I never have to go to a store again to holiday shop I will be a very happy girl.

I am not sure what that says about me? Am I turning into one of those recluse types that would rather be alone than interact with others?  The worry has merit. I do work from home.

What about you? Do you like driving to the mall and getting swept up in all the store sales, big paper bags, and listening to Christmas music in each store that you enter?
