Christmas shopping is just not an enjoyable thing for me. Fighting the crowds of people, rummaging through sale racks to find those unbelievable deals, waiting in long lines, all while trying to keep your 3 yr. old entertained is just not appealing to me. However, it is something that we all end up doing at one point or another during the holiday season; and that day was yesterday for me.
Through all that commotion yesterday, I still didn't finish my Christmas shopping, which means that I'm gonna be out in that mad house at least one more time. I Even stood in a line for at least an hour and a half, to let MariElena make her very first Build-a-Bear. There was at least 50 people in that store doing the same. Trying to find every inch of patience that I had, while she picked the perfect colored Bear, heart, and sound; while she had it stuffed and made sure it had the perfect softness to it; while she put "Princess Violet" under the dryer and brushed it, then picked out the perfect outfit, we finally got in the line to pay for it, and what happens? The Credit Card machines go down. Luckily I had for some reason brought my checkbook, which I never do, and we could Finally leave! Through all the kindergarten like atmosphere, meaning children running wild, yelling, crying, I want this I want that, it was all made worth while seeing how Happy MariElena was with her Finished Product. The things that Parents will do to See that bright and Shinning smile on their Child's Face.
