He thought I needed one more gift.. so I listened. Who am I to argue with Santa? I got a cute cute little watch with a red leather strap. And I exchanged something I bought 5 months ago and hadn't worn-- so the watch was essentially free.
The mall is fun the last couple of shopping days before Christmas. It's full of all kinds of people-- not just the usual crowd of teenagers and women. There are men shopping alone, and families shopping together. It was good energy.

That watch sounds really nice. I have a suede red purse that would go perfect with your watch, as well as a leather red jacket, umbrella, and boots to boot! Now, how about you go ahead and hand the watch over.... Slowly... It is great that you got something for yourself. I used to do that. One year I bought myself a diamond tennis bracelet (Never realized how much I love diamonds!!) for Christmas (I was working 60 hours at 1 job and 18 hours at another to save for school, I deserved it!!!).... But, I went to a senior citizen's convention to talk about block scheduling and I lost it because the clasp didn't close right :( Last time I've bought myself something since. I took it as a sign that I didn't need anything from myself.
I usually wait until after Christmas to buy myself, as I have money and there are great sales. This year, I'm going to get my nails done, and my roots are showing on my hair! Have to get that fixed, as I have some grey (Ick! I'm only 24!!!) I'm going to pamper myself this year... It's been rough!Great job getting yourself something nice! And it cost you next to nothing. But, if you have second thoughts and decide you don't wnat it, remember that it would go nice with my wardrobe :)

In fact, if the job of Mrs. Claus weren't taken I'd apply. Sure he works a lot, but most of the year he works from the workshop right near home. And I would need to gain a few pounds!
I love the malls at Christmastime. Especially at Christmas Eve. The hustle and bustle. All I managed today was to spend half the day at the grocery store though. Not exactly the same. :)

Dinah, you are full of surprises! See, I hate going anywhere near a mall at this time of year. Too crowded, too many flashing lights. With your sensory sensitivities, it would seem you wouldn't like malls at Christmas, but you do! Maybe the sentimental value overrides the sensory overload?

I suppose that's it. I see the mall through the eyes of a child at Christmas. Probably it bears little resemblence to the real thing. People harried? No, they're just full of excitement at picking out presents for their loved ones. Crowded? No, it's bustling. Bright lights? They twinkle like a Christmas village.
lol.
The grocery store, however, was just busy and annoying. And people were *touching* me. I've got to get the Christmas grocery shopping done a month beforehand next year.

Or, go to a 24-hour supermarket between 12 midnight and 7 am!
