Did some last minute christmas shopping today.

Shopping so close to christmas day is like being in an episode of the twilight zone. Whereas even a week ago, the stores were festive and fun, full of couples drinking cider and laughing at the season, today, the stores are 95% dudes, and nobody is smiling anymore.

At Target, I saw a guy ask one of his kids if he thought "mommy would like a candle" that was being featured on the end of an isle. He wasn't joking either, he was desperate. When the kid didn't say anything, the dude looked ready to fall to the floor, tuck into a fetal position, and wait for christmas to pass.

"No sympathy!" - Libby, upon hearing the story.
