It's that time of year again. Time for me to stay out of the stores until Jan. because they are mobbed and their parking lots are overcrowded. Can't even drive past malls these days. To top it off, there are tons of streets still under construction in our village. Shame on them for letting it get this bad and letting it go on for so long. Oh, yes, back to grousing. Time for me to whine about not knowing what to get anybody. Wake me up when it's over, please.
