I won't be on the roads -- I stock up on groceries like there's a blizzard coming so I can stay in all weekend! We have a regional shopping mall in my town and I have to avoid nearby roads because of the traffic.
I do most of my shopping online these days, but sometimes there's something I need to get at the store.
I can remember one time when I braved the crowds, though. Several years ago, on December 23rd, sitting at the breakfast table my son mused, "You know what I really want for Christmas ... ?"
(Why, no -- if it wasn't on your list I really don't! I made a last minute trip to pick up a cassette Walkman.)
