My area was full of lights. Some houses didn't have lights, but the ones that did went overboard and made up for it.
As for the shopping, well, the one thing I hate about Christmas is when I do really need something like batteries I know that going to any store is going to be a hassle. Every time I went to any store it was packed. I also visited the mall to exchange a gift yesterday, and the mall was also packed.
I drove down to Socal and back this week; I have never ever ever ever before in my life seen so much traffic on I5 from San Fran to Socal. Don't tell me people were't traveling for the holidays; I've never had traffic slow down to 30mph on the I5 in my 17 years of going down to Socal on it.
Christmas was fine man.
For me personally, Christmas was great. My wife and I have a child, and I've since disovered that Christmas is no longer about me or what I want. Every year I make a Christmas wish list of what I want, and some years are better than others. However, every year I leave the most expensive gift off the list and buy it myself for Christmas. This year it was a new phone, the Verizon Voyager, which I love. I got a few things I wanted and a few unexpected gifts; No complaints all around.
