A day on the road, driving back to Hometown, Ohio, for Christmas. After a few quick stops at local stores (do Best Buy and Applebees count as "local stores"?), I walked into my parents' house bragging that, for once, I had all my Christmas shopping done before the day of the exchange.
Julie pointed out that, although we were having our family Christmas on Christmas Day this year, previously we've always had it the night before Christmas Eve, tonight, and so I wasn't really done any earlier than usual.
