2. Just stay away from the WebKinz aisle.
I've heard that it's degenerated to a dog-eat-dog mayhem over those things. I'm SO glad my kid isn't the least bit interested in them. I'd hate to get my face trampled over a stuffed toy.

3. I drove by the Walmart by my work on the way home
That parking lot was packed with cars with many others cruising up and down the aisles looking for a parking spot. That was at about 11am. I live 3 miles from a huge mall south of Dayton and traffic was unusually heavy today around the house, even for the weekend.

Man am I glad I got all of my Chrstmas shopping done early.

6. We were standing in line at Target last night....
And some woman was pissed off she had to wait in such a long line. She looked like that character Mo Collins does on MAD TV who clears her voice a lot.
Why the hell do you go to TARGET the Friday night before Christmas and not expect long lines? Idiots.

7. We were out from 9:30-11:30 am to get a few last minute things.
We were able to park close and stroll through the stores with no problems at all. I was surprised. We went to a couple different locations plus one grocery store and all were the same with close parking and no large crowds. I was surprised since normally the one shopping complex is usually so busy you have to keep driving around the parking lot over and over to even find a parking spot.
