Dear Last-Minute Christmas Shopper

What Christmas should really symbolize

The feeling that a child or let’s face it, ANYONE gets as they’re opening their presents bright and early Christmas morning is indescribable!

It’s also not just about the presents though, it’s a time to spend the most precious moments with friends and family that you may never get back. For me, it’s one of the holiday’s that I look forward to the most because I know that mostly all of my family will be together some traveling as far as California but that’s what family truly means, getting together for the holidays and enjoying each other’s company.

But, like many, there are some people that still need to find those presents for that special someone or loved one. Those people who haven’t started or still need to go shopping are in the majority. The International Council of Shopping Centers concluded that about 76% of adult shoppers make their purchases for the holidays right up until Christmas day.

Those same people may have the right idea in waiting until the last minute to get their shopping done then, considering all the great sales that many of the major department stores such as, Macy’s, J.C. Penny, Boscov’s, etc.

Although, don’t despair, because everything happens for a reason. Even if you didn’t get that really cute highlight palette or the drone that everyone wants “just to fly around the neighborhood” when in fact you just want to see what your neighbors are up to!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
