watching the maddness.



I was shopping for hours the other night, mostly against my will. I was bored and was looking for a way to entertain myself. So I found a way. Have you ever taken the time to watch people shop, especially around christmas time? It is hilarious to say the least. One woman standing in the same spot looking at a toy for at least fifteen minutes. Another walking around with a christmas list in her hand yelling out to her friend "I just can't believe my luck! They had everything on his list!!" Some people walk around aimlessly. Other's know exactly what they are going for.

There are two types of christmas shoppers. Ones that enjoy it, sing along with the christmas songs while they shop. Enjoy finding presents for the ones they love. These people don't mind emptying out their pockets of all their money to give a shirt, toy, or electronic to someone that will probably hate it and then return it.

Then there are those people that are just too funny to watch. The hate every moment of shopping. They don't have a clue what to buy, are stressed, and do not feel like spending all their money on someone that will never really like or enjoy what they get. The walk around with their face crunched up from stress. They look tired and annoyed.

There are women that have to drag their children along shopping with them. These kids just fight with their sibblings or say they want everything for themselves. The mother fighting with the child. "Don't you realize that Santa is coming in a few days!" "He buys you presents and you better be good or else you will wake up with nothing on Christmas!"

Holiday shopping can be so freaking fun.
