i have never been able to understand why people always leave christmas shopping last minute.. =.=
it would save you so much more time and less pushing if you just went to the stores early instead of shoving others as you try to get by.

but other than the numerous last minute shoppers i saw today, i also got to see the mall santa claus~

the hired person actually looked quite jolly and looked like he was a down right natural with kids!! gives me a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside as i watch little kids chatting with the big red dude
