Christmas Eve should be a day for relaxing and spending time with friends and family. For the previous 28 years of my life, that is what I did. Today and this year are different.
I am that guy. Some may call me a procrastinator. Some may call me lazy. I don’t know what to call me other than a guy who has no shopping done. Yet.
I stare down the daunting task of battling the cold, fighting through the crowds, and making my way to the dreaded mall for a round or two with the credit card. The battle is on and I am doing my best to get prepared. I was up until 4:30 AM last night, seeing friends and eating cold, awful chicken wings from the deli of Wegman’s. I saw a ton of people out and about last night. Those stories are for later. I now must clear the cobwebs and go to the place many of us men hate.
I am off to the shower then off to my self made hell…
