Woah, did last-minute xmas shopping - it was EASY!
Went to Toys R Us to get a couple videogames for the bf. The parking lot was crowded, but went into the store - no lines at the checkout. Went to the game dept. - no lines at the counter! Bought my games, went home. 10 minutes.

Back in MY day, shopping on xmas eve was a pain in the ass!

1. Good deal! I had almost as good a luck!

:D

And at the grocery store, they were announcing mark downs like crazy, so I got a lot of chocolate candy too! :P

I only waited in line at the music store for a total of 5 minutes.

Kohls's was a little longer. I got deep discounts, so it was worth the wait! :woohoo: (and I mean deep!)

I got all my shopping done in 4 hours! Gifts and food and booze and rented movies!

I'm in disbelief!

I remember back in the 80's when it was a horror show trying to just get into a mall and find a parking space!

Today wasn't that bad at all. I'm thankful for the highway between stores! ;)

2. I went to Circuit City for some gift cards today
And I felt like shooting some people. I'll never, ever, ever, go out to the stores on Christmas Eve ever fucking again.

I'm glad your shopping experience was a good one.

3. Circuit City makes me feel that way
on any random day.

It was amazing - I had steeled myself ahead of time. "This is gonna suck, so just go and expect it to suck. You'll get through it. Don't carry any weapons." But it was a breeze!
