What I was doing when I should have been at the grocery store shopping for Christmas dinner

Here we go again. 

Seems like it was just yesterday when I was dragging my feet about grocery shopping for Thanksgiving dinner.

In my defense, my Christmas dinner shopping was delayed because on the way to the grocery store I drive right by not one but two thrift stores.  And they already have their Christmas items marked 50% off.


Do you think anyone will notice?

A very Merry Christmas to all of you!!

    How fun! I don't find great things like that at my thrift stores! I'd love a vintage ornament or two on my plate-Merry Christmas:@)

    Well, none of your blogger friends won't notice :^) in fact, we'll be asking for driving directions to the closest shop.
    Happy Holiday Hugs,

    Looks like a heck of a lot more fun that buying a 10 pound bag of potatoes to me! I made a stop at the thrift store this morning myself and did score some neat plastic candle wreaths in a box with great graphics but I felt lucky to make it there and back alive so decided to spend the rest of the day safe at home. Crazy people out driving around! Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!

    haha... I'd much prefer a plate of Vintage Christmas thingies than boring food. I haven't done any thrifting in about a month - and I'm starving!

    Merry Christmas to you!

    Oh, wow! Way better than wandering the aisles searching for horseradish. I'll take the leftovers. You can just box 'em up. You don't even have to fold the foil to look like a swan. Well, unless you want to... :o)

    Merry Merry Merry Christmas to you and your family!! - Kathy in Chicago suffering er - um enjoying a white Christmas!!

    Now that's what I like to see on MY plate! And a glass filled to the brim with some vintage tinsel would be just the thing to wash it all down!
    Merry Christmas!

    Looks like you've got your priorities straight to me! It's amazing what we can get done when we're avoiding something else. Love the blue and red together.
