I took Friday off, Esther and I relaxed all morning and then around noon finally ventured out. We went to the mall and looked for christmas gifts etc. Let me tell you something, I hate holiday shopping or malls. I’m not sure which, but they are so analogous in my despise, I think it’s both. Malls are just ways to herd people together and get them to spend more money than they need to and that pretty much is the entire holiday season.

When I have kids I think we are going to have a non commercial Christmas. They’ll get, maybe, 3 gifts from a store (kind of like the three wise men), and the rest will be home made or hand crafted. My cousins used to have that kind of Christmas, and I think that it’s really the way to go.

I guess I should talk to Esther about that …
