Humbug

It turns out that the key to my love of the holidays over the last number of years has been my absolute avoidance of malls anytime between Thanksgiving and, say, Valentine's Day. (And most of the rest of the year, too.) But some orders haven't worked out and yesterday required us to go to the mall(prompting the eternal Halo Jones battle cry of "I'm too young to go to the mall!") Nothing crushes my spirit more than humanity at the mall at Christmastime. Never should have gone. We accomplished exactly one thing in three stops and went home ready to bite the heads off of rabbits. Thanks, Retail America, for reminding me why e-commerce is so great!
