Finished

We finally finished X-mas shopping for the 2008 shopping season. It snowed and was all around bad weather for so many days that at the first bit of better weather we ventured out into the chaos that is the holiday shopping season. With a bit of good luck it only took about 4.5 hours round trip; thru traffic and snow showers. Now we have to wrap everything and pick up the house a bit as, weather permitting, we are hosting X-mas eve festivities at our house. My niece, her parents (my older stepbrother and his wife) and my Grandparents (mother's side) will be gracing us with their presence.
