I’ve done it past years, fighting the crowds in the malls, traffic, hearing fake sounding christmas carols through the speakers at Wal-Mart.
I’m not doing it this year.
I’m going to wait until about the 20th and I’ll go to my favorite used book store. A place that doesn’t have all the christmas sales, a place that doesn’t have huge crowds, a place that has workers that will talk to you for a minute about whether or not they loved a book you’re asking about, a place that doesn’t try to get you to buy something then get out.
I will not enter the malls until Jan. 1st.
Anyway… Just a new way for me. I think it’ll go well.
