QotD: Winter Wonderland Shopping Trips?
While walking in a winter wonderland can be fun in theory, it makes shopping a big of a drag. Do you plan on doing your holiday shopping online or in-stores this season? Why?

My winter wonderland looks exactly the same as my summer swelterland. The only difference is the temperature, which is pleasant during the holidays. But it does make for a drag and it's hard to get into the holiday spirit, especially for a snow girl like me. The lights on the saguaro cacti and mesquite trees are pretty at night and all, but it doesn't cut it.
As for gifts, I'll take a look through my gift box and see if I'm missing anyone. If I am, then I'll probably do my usual REI Outlet.com and buy the family some nice winter gear. I have to get DadH his fancy mountain trekking socks. He's never been so happy with a gift since I bought him a stovetop popcorn popping pan many years ago. And MomH doesn't have to listen to him complain about how cold his feet are every time he comes back inside. It's a gift for everyone!

I always get my father an expensive food/gift basket. Then when he opens it on The Day, we all tear into it. It's a fair exchange, I think.
The lights on the cacti and trees must be very pretty!
Fathers are supposed to give up all the good stuff. I think that's a law once you start having children.
People my scoff at our light displays, but they really are beautiful. When you see little white lights twinkling in a stark landscape, it brings a new appreciation for the desert.
