i love shopping! i love wondering the stores, looking at all the trinkets while the holiday music plays. Even the store people seem extra chipper and helpful! People actually move and say 'excuse me!' and smile.

it's a great time to be a shopper, looking for that 'something special' that is on sale for 75% of the origional price! ha! thats the game i love and the fun holiday atomosphere and attitudes makes it much more fun!

go enjoy!  and hold the door open for someone, pick something up when someone drops something and pass on that holiday cheer!!!

  • You're like the anti-Grinch, Kate! :-) I'm actually with you on enjoying shopping, though. If we didn't live on opposite coasts we could hit the stores together.

    And I really like your suggestions for little ways to spread holiday cheer in the marketplace, too.

  • I'm with you Kate. I love shopping!! And I especially am loving it this year...I actually already bought gifts for the difficult people on the list. I try and spread the cheer by cleaning up after myself in the stores...I remember what it's like to try and keep a store looking good during the holiday rush.

  • Ha, I can't even stand grocery shopping. All yours Kate! Online stuff I can handle, though. I will take your suggestion and pass on the holiday cheer. It's a great thing to show our kids, too!

  • Will you do MY shopping for me? (I'm a bah humbug kind of shopper) . . .

    I DO like your ending suggestions though of just going the extra mile for someone this holiday season!
