Saw a lot of folks today, just real hardworking American folks at a Wal-Mart neighborhood market, buying groceries, a Whole Foods, and a busy gas station!
....Even though crowded, everyone I encountered smiled, was polite with their carts, and when smiled back at by me and my Dad in tow, said, "Merry Christmas!"
My first and only shopping trip of this season turned out to be better than expectation, and all the bad news we all see on TV.
Merry Christmas indeed.
