Christmas Shopping at the Mall is Crazy!

I went to the mall tonight to do some Christmas shopping, and it was insane!! I got there around 8:30pm, thinking it would be less crowded an hour and a half before closing time. I was most certainly wrong!! I have never seen the mall more busy and crowded in my life. I'm not sure if everybody there thought the same as I had, or if this was considered the "slow time" but it was not a fun experience. This did however, help me to realize how much money is spent this time of year.
I witnessed some people spending over $500 worth of merchandise in a single store! I was in line behind a gentleman who spent $1053.88 in a clothing store. I felt that everywhere I went there was someone waiting to rip me off! Everything seemed way over priced: even the so called "sales" seemed to be over priced. I am going to do my best to avoid the mall until the middle of January at the earliest!!
