Not a lot to say today except that it's still one week till Christmas. I'm trying to determine what I should get at the grocery store this week, and to get to the store before Christmas Eve. I just know Safeway will be the busiest on Christmas Eve as opposed to the other stores in town. But since Christmas Eve is on Saturday, I likely will get to the store on Friday, if getting there earlier proves to be a problem.
But just how busy will the stores be during this week? Just last night, as I was coming out of the parking lot of Safeway, there were many cars on the road coming from Target. And over the the last two days, the parking lots at Kmart and Target were quite full, if not completely packed. And today there were two long lines at Dollar Tree. So what can I expect this week? I'm just glad I'm done getting presents, as I did not need to get a lot of them. But I plan to bring something for the potluck at work on Friday and possibly something for the family on Christmas Eve. With Christmas Eve on Saturday, I will have more time to make something for that night, but will have to find time to make something for work after work one day. I know I can do that.
And one more week of hearing Christmas music over the work intercom. Somehow they've skipped playing Elton John's "Step Into Christmas" one christmas song I actually like. And they've also skipped over the Eagles' rendition of "Please Come Home For Christmas," never mind the version by Bon Jovi. And of course numerous versions of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," etc., etc. I'm always glad when this is over.
And before the year is up I'm planning to see "New Year's Eve." Presumably before that date.
