IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS…

I had my monthly book club meeting last night, and even though we meet in the evening, I turned the outing into a full day Christmas shopping extravaganza because my other four book club mates all live near my old neighborhood—translation: an hour and a half away from where I now live.

It's been quite a while since I've been to a mall and I have to say, I had a blast.  It was pretty crowded, but I loved it.  Loved all the holiday songs, the decorations, the twinkly lights, the shoppers lugging bags, the scent of pine and "Christmasy" stuff.  And the holiday chocolate/peppermint cake pops at Starbucks?? To. Die. For. (seriously—leave your house RIGHT NOW and go to Starbucks and get yourself a chocolate/peppermint cake pop.  You'll thank me.  Really.).

Chocolate brownie peppermint cake pop. You want this. You really do.

I bought a few things (besides cake pops), but not too many—I've actually done most of my shopping online.  The only person I haven't finished shopping for is the DH.  When I asked him what he wanted, he said he thinks we should go shopping together and get ourselves iPhones!!! Yay!  I'm very excited to get one.  Of course it will take me MONTHS to figure out how to use all the bells and whistles, but I'm more than willing to learn.

As for the other gifts I bought, I can't reveal here what they are because all my peeps read this blog, LOL!  Quit peeking, peeps—I'm not telling!

Have you been to the mall to shop this holiday season, or do you avoid it like the plague?  Do you shop online?  Are you all finished shopping?  How about shipping? (that's my next step—wrap and ship!).  What are you hoping to get this holiday season?
