Searching for Christmas Gifts

This morning, I had swimming practice. Afterwards, my sister wanted me to take her shopping because she doesn't have her driver's license quite yet, though she has met all of the qualifications to do so. I took her (she drove) to several places including Border's book store, Michael's arts and crafts store, Wal-Mart, and several other places. When my extended family celebrates Thanksgiving, we draw names and get the person whose name we drew a gift for Christmas. If everyone were to get everyone else a gift, Christmas would become very expensive. I got a gift for my uncle from Wal-Mart. I got him an MP3 player. They are generally expensive, so I got the lease expensive one that they had, and even so went slightly over the spending limit.

On another note, all of this political correctness with "Happy Holidays" is getting on my nerves. Most people celebrate Christmas anyway. I do recognize that not everyone does, but a very large majority does. I don't see why anyone who isn't a politician needs to be politically correct about the Christmas Season.
