Ugh, we are usually pretty good at getting our holiday shopping done early, but we're a little behind the curve at this point, and must head out this weekend to brave the crowds. Avoiding crowds, of course, is our motivation for being done with our shopping by now, but I guess on the bright side we'll have a greater chance of encountering discounts and sales by now.
