It was strange, Christmas shopping this year. Usually, she had a long list of people to buy for, lots of ideas for what to get them, and a carefully organized list that made sure that she was spending the same amount on everyone. But here, in this place, she didn't really have many people to buy for.
Lissa, Rose, Jill...maybe a little something for Sonja. But that was all. No Adrian, no Declan, no sisters, no people at Court and distant friends of Adrian's that she needed to make sure she had a appropriate gifts for, because Adrian was certainly not going shopping. She'd tried that one year, and it had been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. No Eddie, who was almost impossible to shop for.
But still, shopping was part of the season, and she was pretty sure that she couldn't feel the Christmas spirit if she didn't go at least once. So she'd gotten up early this morning, bundled up, and hit the stores early before most people would be out and about.
Unfortunately, in a town as small as Madison Valley, that meant most of the stores weren't open yet, either. So, alas, she'd had to go have a latte at Starbucks while she'd waited for them to open.
Now she was wandering from store to store, trying to get ideas about what people would want. It was far more difficult than she'd thought it would be, but still, getting out in the cold, with the now ever-present crowds was making it feel more like Christmas.
Opening the door to a little store that sold nature products and toys, she nearly ran into person coming out with an armful of bags. Quickly, she moved out of the way, holding the door.
"Sorry, let me get the door for you."
