We spent the afternoon at the mall.

There is nothing quite like spending time at a mall to put you in the Christmas spirit. The crowds, the cranking people, the road-raged drivers.

It's a veritable cornucopia of joy and delight.

Actually, it wasn't all that bad. I think our timing was pretty good. We got there at 1:30 and left at 3:30.

We found a reasonable parking space with almost no hassle, got a bunch of things purchased and hauled out to the car and then went back in to grab a bite to eat. We found a few more things and we decided to call it a day just as the crowds were starting to build.

We left at 3:30 and the ride home was kinda long. Traffic slowed us down twice but we made it without too much delay.

The Bruins lost to the Capitals last night, dropping them to five points behind the Capitals.

Tonight they are in Florida to play the Lightning. I really hope they can get their shit together and get back on the winning track.
