Now the Elf is a new thing for me. I recently discovered the Elf a couple of years ago. And he made an appearance at my work. Yes nothing says Christmas like the Elf on the shelf playing in the bar. Yes, in the bar. In fact I couldn't even find the little drunk, so I had recruit another one to handle his duties for the year. Maybe she won't be found like this.
Or like this
Apparently he had a thing for cognac
He ended up like this looking for money right before Christmas
So here is to hoping that his replacement has a little more restraint. However, I'm not holding my breath that she behaves.
I started my Christmas shopping finally. I actually did some on Black Friday, in the afternoon, and only one stop. I'm not that crazy as to go out at 3 a.m. shopping, for gifts that is. I've been known to go grocery shopping at the wee hours on my way home, because there is a 24 hour store on the way. But even shopping in the wee hours is nuts sometimes. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who have their kids out with them shopping at 2 a.m., but that's a rant for another day.
So I discovered a new store. Well, it's not a new store. It's been around for years, I've just never gone in there. I finally went into a Pier 1 Imports. That's a store that I could spend hours in, and that's not a good thing. I'm like a bull in a china shop. I can't even think about how many things I almost ran into while there. I'm such a klutz. That is one of those places I should only go into with a chaperone and wrapped in bubble wrap so I don't bump into anything.
I think I might be able to get a lot of my shopping done in just a couple of stops this year. Who wants candles?
