Traditions... predictable and comforting patterns of behavior... that was me the day after Christmas... out at dawn to find just the perfect wrapping, cards and potpourri for the next year's festivities... and all at half off, no less! No longer so, I'm afraid... it seems that with each passing year, stores stock less and less holiday sundries... so that you're fortunate to pick up a few things BEFORE the Holidays... forget about after. This year, for the first time, I didn't go out on Boxing Day at all... and, instead, have been tentatively searching out my post-Holiday bargains solely online... I will miss most the tactile aspect of in-person shopping... as I am a little old school about certain things... cards should be cards... nice heavy card stock... that sort of thing... nothing worse than a floppy Christmas card...
ah well... online, Christmas and me... in with the new.
