We went to Medicine Hat for Christmas vacation. It was quite fun, Tracie and I both enjoyed our visit. We both got a lot of very good presents. I was worried that Santa wouldn't be sure if he should leave our stuff at Tracie's parents or mine.
By the end of the week, we were both very anxious to get home. We just love sleeping in our own bed.
Boxing Day
We went to the mall on boxing day (there is only one in medicine hat or I would have told you the name). It was one of my worst shopping experiences ever. It was like a feeding frenzy. Shoppers were filled with the blood-lust of looking for a good deal. The stores for teens had the gates mostly shut so that only one person could enter or exit at a time, and lots of stores had guards posted to combat shoplifting.
It was sickening. Seriously. I plan to avoid boxing day sales from now on. The worst of it is that the people probably weren't even getting the great deals that they thought they were. People have been conditioned into thinking that if you buy it on boxing day it's a bargain.
Ring a bell, and I'll salivate just like Pavlov's dog.
-Gary Milner, the only thing worse than Christmas shopping is Boxing day shopping
