Working these past few days I saw consumerism at its finest. I have not finished my Christmas shopping and nor do I want to. I ventured to the mall today, and today I decided that I am not going back! What a crowd. I work at a great store that sells equipment for the kitchen but I see people buy products that are such a waste!!! This isn't just financially a waste, but some things will never be used again after they are opened. Example: a Hot chocolate maker? This is Texas! After the first two weeks of January, it is going to be time to be putting that product away. Example: Christmas themed pancake molds? Just because they are on sale ($17.99) doesn't mean you have to buy it.
All of this puts me out of the Christmas spirit. However, what I am looking forward too is spending time with my small family, especially Ago. As his gift, I got him a jacket with the UT logo on it and I am anxious to see his reaction. I also got him a bumper sticker with "I'm a Longhorn Grandpa" on it and i rrrrrreeeaalllllllyyyyy want to put it on his wheels. While this consumerism gets to me, I can't avoid it (I tend to do that about a lot of things) because whether I like it or not, it is a part of the Christmas spirit.
