Christmas Sales

Why is it nomatter how bad the weather or the roads are the shoppers march on like there's no tomorrow? I can't believe how many people were in the stores and on the road between towns just Christmas shopping. Today I can understand where they're comming from because the roads are starting to clear up. My drive and yard is still a death trap waiting for a person going by to slip and slide on in. I don't mind snow because you can still get around on foot or in the car. The ice is another story completely mainly because the only ice I really like is in a glass.
