The Most Wonderful Day of the Year

The day when all Christmas items go on sale for half off!!! So I wake up at 6:30 with the immediate thought of "I'm late..I'm late...for a very important date!", rush out the door, dragging a brush through my hair as I go, and off to the stores.

I restocked the Christmas Cards, got enough lip balms, body butters, manicure kits, and makeup brushes to last me to next December 26th, laid in a supply of mixed nuts for the year, and got Brick his annual Holiday Peanut M&Ms. Extra finds this year: a set of flannel sheets for $9 and a refridgerator/warmer console for the car for $15.

And home by 9 A.M.
