Every year, I dread going Christmas shopping because of the throngs of people trying to push and shove their way around trying to get little Johnny or Bobby the latest and greatest toys. Shopping malls inundating us with Christmas songs that make me want to poke out my ear drums so I'll never have to hear another rendition of "Jingle Bells".
But yesterday was glorious!!! I have never enjoyed Christmas shopping as much as I did yesterday. Despite all the sugar coated Holiday songs, yesterday's experience changed the way I view Christmas shopping. You see, Toronto was hit with a fairly major snowstorm. We tracked between 20 - 30cm (8" - 12") of snow with another 20 - 30cm of drift.
The mall was empty. There was maybe a handful of people in there and no one was pushing and shoving and there were actually seats at the food court! On top of that, there were a couple of stores that had a 'snow day' sale!
There should be a major snow storm every year before Christmas.
