The holiday is over and now the mad RUSH to Christmas.  I braved the traffic to goto drop off my daughter and had almost no problems.  Stopping by the local McD it was not TOO busy and the K-Mart was a little more than usual either I had missed the crowds or they weren’t there.  Then I went to GameStop.  In addition to about 8 people browsing there were 12 in line in that tiny store.  They DID have all registers (2 of them) working and 2 additional staff on the floor.  I was impressed.  Now I feel I can put up my holiday lights!
