Day 35: Christmas Eve

I went shopping for presents today with some of my younger cousins who couldn't drive. We went to Target, Inland Center Mall, and to Big Lots (which is a great place to find a toy for dirt cheap!)

While most people hate shopping on this particular day, I love it. I love the crowds; jostling, folks bumping into each other with smiles and apologies that would ordinarily be absent on any other day. I hadn't been to the Inland Center for quite some time, and I was surprised by all the new stores. One in particular caught my eye. It was a sports store with a grip of Laker gear. Perfect for my mom and dad who are avid Laker fans. I bought for both, matching Laker sweaters for them to wear when they watch the game tomorrow and Laker lanyards so they could hang their ID's when they work. Quick and easy.

When we finished shopping, we all headed to my house to wrap the gifts, then headed to Mcdo and Travis' house to play Rock Band till 10 at night. But the night for me was just starting. Upon arriving at home, I was then informed that the family would be coming over for breakfast. Now our house is at the end of the renovation that started in May and it was a mess. Of course we couldn't have the house dirty for a family breakfast so we ended up cleaning till 5 in the morning. Now I'm going to sleep.
