This year I started at Best Buy @ 5AM (as always) and then we moved on to Target, Walmart, and Costco, with a break in the middle for the golden arches.    I didn’t have any big-ticket items this year so I did the bulk of my shopping at Target and it was a MAD HOUSE!  I’m used to the huge crowds at Best Buy but this year Target was the place to be.

This year I couldn’t have done it alone!  Thank God I had my sister and her fiancé to hold the cart.

While Todd manned my cart with my son’s Lego set …

I went out with free arms to wrestle a Soccer Mom for one of the last pink Little Tykes Digital Cameras.

And yes my little girl will not have a blue camera this Christmas.

All and all it was a great time.  It seamed like most people bought up the cheap flat screen TVs this year but I had no need, room, or money for any more televisions.
