Every year I say the same thing.
That I'm NOT going to wait until the last minute...and I do.
September would seem the likely month to start shopping for Christmas gifts.
Oh sure! I think about it when September comes, it's not like I forget!
But what do I do with regards to beating the mad crowds?
Absolutely nothing.
So instead of enjoying the cheer of the season, I'm angry at the driver next to me who won't let me into traffic on the freeway.
Then, I'm secretly jealous of all the shoppers in line ahead of me because they're so much closer to the cashier.
On top of that, I'm stressed out in every mall parking lot because when one driver pulls out, another one pulls in.
Anger. Jealousy. Stress.
These are not the components of which happy holidays are made.
But who can I blame but myself?
Not one single person.
I don't need the Grinch to steal Christmas.
"The rush" to get to Christmas, is doing a fine job.
