Day 17: Busy, busy, busy!

Another quick post! Christmas season is here and with a vengeance! The whole day was non-stop activities, but a wonderful family day as well.
I did get my walk in. I was thinking of skipping, but my darling husband half mumbled in his sleep that I should go & he would hold down the fort.
By the time I left, he and the children were plopped in front of the television to watch the animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Me? I walked the mall - much to cold outside for me, thank you very much!
The mall during the week is filled with walkers, but the building itself seems to be only half awake. All the stores, but a handful like Kohl's, are closed which means no blaring lights or music. Just peacefulness.
Today was different. All the stores opened at 8am - music blaring, lights turned up high and so many people! Not walkers, not shoppers...just a lot of people. I guess they could be the store employees...it was surreal. It was hard to think.
But I did think...and I realized I am becoming too negative. Too tired to say more so I will expound tomorrow! Good walking everyone!
