Yes I Did Just Get My Christmas Shopping Done At The Louis Joliet Mall!

T'was the week before Christmas, and all through the house...mommy had been working, and NOT gotten out. To the Louis Joliet Mall she must go, to meet nephew James for lunch...and then shopping they'll go!
Seriously, I had NOT shopped a bit, and Christmas is fast approaching. James, who just graduated from college (insert applause here) met me for some fine holiday shopping fun!

We. Shopped. It. Out!
So many stores...H&M just opened last Friday, and I LOVE that store. I found some super cute gifts for my Maggie. (Can't show them, because she reads this blog...but I did well.) I also picked up a cozy warm sweater and infinity scarf for me. Oh, and how CUTE are these New Year's Eve party favors?! SO. CUTE.

Gotta stay focused though. More shopping to do...
I could not be happier. Oh the deals we found. Honestly, I got so many wonderful presents, I am just thrilled! I checked off my list so fast, we had time to grab a yummy lunch at TGI Fridays (Nachos as far as the eye could see.)

Then some selfie fun at the Digi Tree.
Took our picture-check. Picked our category/seasonal-check. Added caption "hot cocoa & s'mores" because it sounded so good-check. Send selfie to the tree-done! Would it make us sound silly if I told you we followed our picture all around the tree? Yes. OK, well...we didn't do that. (Totally did.)

I have been slammed at work, and it was a relief to meet James, who I don't get to see enough, exhale and get my Christmas shopping done. Well, close to done;)

Now that I am feeling good about catching up with my holiday shopping, how about you...done, almost done, or *gulp* haven't started yet?

*While I was invited to experience the holidays at Louis Joliet Mall, and compensated, all experiences and opinions are my own.

  6. Last night we bought the last gifts! Now all I have to buy is ingredients to make desserts for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. I love the feeling of finishing Christmas Shopping. Justice is Isa's favorite store. I made a few trips there this holiday season.

  9. I can't deal with the malls this time of year. I think its the years I spent working in retail. I did all of my shopping online.
