Christmas Break and Shopping

One of the benefits of working at a school is that I still get holiday breaks. This year is a pretty good one too. Today is the start of the break and I don't have to return to work until January 2nd. First on my to do list is finish reading The Oxford Illustrated History of the Vikings.

So, my wife and I began buying presents for Christmas last night. In probably the shortest period of time I've ever shopped, we finished buying for everyone in a 2 hour trip last night and a 1 hour trip this morning. I'm not sure it it's a measure of us being focused and knowing what we wanted to get the children or a result of us being relatively poor. Either way, I enjoyed it and I hope that the gifts bring smiles on Christmas morning.
