The shopping god is everything.

Christmas time! What a commercial scam!

The spirit of giving translates into the spirit of buying.

The mall is riddled with hundreds of shoppers looking for the perfect gifts.

But those shoppers don't necessarily embody the Christmas spirit.

I made the mistake of going to the mall during peak time: a Saturday afternoon. I was elbowed and shoved along through the throngs of people.

I had to ride the wave of slow meandering crowds to get to the aisles I wanted. Shopping cart barricades prevented access to other aisles.

A grumpy man yelled at me for holding up the line when I asked the cashier to put some work related purchases on a separate receipt.

Tis the season.
