Christmas Holiday Shopping Mall Spirit

Lloyd Center at Christmas

My feet hurt.

I went to the Lloyd Center today, because, like a specific percentage of men, I do all my Christmas shopping at the last minute.  There were lots of people.  Lots of shopping.  Lots of money changing hands.

People say that the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year.  Black Friday.  To me, “Black Friday” is a Steely Dan song.  Anyway, I heard that Black Friday is not really the busiest shopping day of the year, it’s a myth, that the biggest shopping day is some day between Christmas and Thanksgiving, but it changes each year.

I hope so.

For me, I guess I always put things off to the last moment.  I’m not late, just barely on time.  Give me a deadline, and I’ll finish on time – but I will rarely be early.

Like all those people shopping at the Lloyd Center today.

Merry Christmas!
