So this weekend hubby and I decided to do something we haven't done in the entire 3 years we've had children- buy a Christmas present in an actual store. For the last 3 years, I've done all of our Christmas shopping online and had all of our gifts conveniently delivered to our front door in discreet brown packages that I can scoop off the front porch with one hand while holding my coffee in the other. But this year our twins are seriously obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine- and I am obsessed with not paying full price for these ridiculously over priced wooden trains. So when I had three sets of combinable coupons at Barnes and Noble, we decided to take the boys to the store to play with their beloved train table while I picked out a few pieces to put under the tree. And since we were out, I decided to run down the street to the TJ Maxx to check out their small collection of discounted Thomas trains just in case they had any we were looking for. While we did end up coming home with five deeply discounted train pieces (score!!!)- we also came home with something more important: My top 5 reasons for doing all holiday shopping online!!!!
5. You will not get absurdly pissed at the person who finds themselves important enough to take up two parking spots, leaving you to park a half a mile away from the store with two toddlers in tow while a valuable spot directly in front of the store sits empty except for his front left tire.
4. You will not be forced to judge the mother next to you who is peacefully browsing the clothing racks oblivious to the needs of her screaming infant who is piercing the ears of every single shopper in the store.
3. You will not have to do the strange dance with your husband where one distracts the kids while the other runs to the front of the store to buy the gifts without being noticed while you are both cursing each other for bringing said kids along.
2. You will not have to feel guilty when you politely decline the free gift wrapping at the front of the store because the paper is really ugly and you don't trust a girl scout to properly wrap your presents.
And the number one reason for doing all Christmas shopping online...
1. You will not have to explain to two curious toddlers why you are walking out of the store with a bag when you "didn't buy anything". Nor will you have to explain again when walking from the car to the house. Or again when you try to quickly stash the bag somewhere. Or again when they find the bag!
