Done and Done

Good news, readers! I am, as of today, the  16th of December, 2010, finished with my Christmas shopping! It’s been a long road. I started all the way this morning, and I finished at like, 3-ish. Most of it was done online (God Bless 2-day shipping) but I did hoof it out there for the rest of it. My shoppings took me all over this good city, and even up to Sandy. I battled traffic jams, (the entire freeway was shut down up in Sandy because of a giant accident) my own fatigue, but I pulled through.

My last shop was Macy’s, here in Orem. As I was making my purchase, the cashier asked how I was doing (like usual, so polite) and I responded that I was doing great, this was my last purchase of the Christmas season. He congratulated me, and then as he was handing me my bag of merchandise, he made a little fanfare and handed it over, like I had won. I really felt like I had, at that point.

Now I can settle in and enjoy the season without any problems. I can’t believe how late I let everything get before I purchased stuff, but in my defense, I had no idea what I was going to get people. But then I had an epiphany, and then I was set. I’m psyched to be done, and even more psyched to give my gifts away – so long as people like them!
