DD and I got up at 1AM, rushed to pick up DIL and son then rushed to Old Navy. The line was unbelievable. They opened at 3, but by the time we got in at 3:15 (due to the line), all the $5 fleece was gone. Then we rushed to Bergners, JC Pennys, and Macys. We spent about $25 at those places. Rushed to Target where there was another huge line, so we just left without even trying to get in. Grabbed a biscuit at McDs, went on to a couple of stores that opened at 6am. Both those went smoothly, so we finished up Christmas shopping there.
We were blessed at Home Depot. There was a huge line, but we used the Garden center door where there was no line at all. And after grabbing a few things there, I avoided the check--out lines by paying at the service desk. It was so easy and fast!
We were back home by 7AM, $200 poorer, but had a dozen or more presents purchased, and Christmas shopping finished.
