The Holidays!
I hate the crowded stores,
not knowing what to buy.
I hate the hustle and bustle,
people pushing as they go by.
Christmas Eve is our special night,
Family gathered all close nearby.

I read your comment on my piece. I get what you are saying exactly. The shopping part is awful. But close family is the BEST! I think you expressed the holiday paradox perfectly.

I only buy for the grandkids now as it is. It makes it easier on everyone’s budgets. It is more food and fun.

Snuggling with family is definitely better than pushing with strangers (:
