shopping ...

I am glad that I have most of my shopping done
I need to go to the grocery store
and that is about it
but first I need to find space in my freezer
to store the Christmas bird

There is something about the smell of turkey
that makes the warm spot inside glow
the knowledge of family and friends together
feeling the love and joy of the season

so, sometimes the shopping means that you find the perfect gift
for the person that you have the most problems shopping for
and you just feel good inside
because you know the joy your gift will bring ...
so all those hours of shopping
and spending way to much money, but thinking that it would be something that they would enjoy or could use ...
part of the joy of shopping ...

this year, the shopping was done without a list ...
lots of the stand bys that given every year ...
socks, boxers, and sleep pants ...
and a few surprises thrown in ...

gotta love shopping ...
especially when it is done with love ...
