The theory sounds good….

It’s Christmas Eve morning, and we have some errands to run.  Liquor store, grocery store, mall.  It’s somewhat cliche to go shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve, but I like it.  I’m not going because I have to (my shopping is done), so I can enjoy watching everyone else run around in a frenzy.  I get to slow down and notice the decorations and the music and what holiday cheer there may be for me to notice.  I may also be able to come up with a better idea for someone, although that would put me in the same category as the frenzied last-minute shoppers.

Presents!  I need to need less stuff.  Fewer things.
