Christmas 8: Shopping Day

Next, I had a shopping day 

with those two crazy favorites I told you about.

First,

 the Christmas Tree Shoppe,

 full of things you don't need,

and some things you find quite cool.

Then, Ikea.

 I adore Ikea [don't ask me why.]

Then, we battled the traffic to such an extent,

 we were ready to eat.

 Bobby's Burger Palace,

 to. the. rescue.

Then, the mall and Target,

 where I discovered my Christmas had not been complete.

 Clearly there was no reason for me to not have received

 a Tinsel Pig!

But then, 

finding absolutely nothing in the way of 'we need this',

Crate & Barrel.

I took my Christmas money, and bought these Essential plates

in order to save the environment and my budget, 

when I entertain.

Of course, they gave me a box of soup bowls instead,

so later that evening Marlo and I schlepped down Rt. 17 again.

A shopping day full of all sorts of quality time!
