I find it interesting to learn about other people's/culture's traditions. I never go shopping on festival days because I can't stand the crowds.

Thinking that you and your ma are an item suggests that either she looks amazingly young, or you look pretty old. Which is it? Lol

This is the first time I've ever read about Black Friday and Christmas shopping, and it not make me want to cry with anxiety at just imagining the crowds. Congratulations... 😅.

It triggered a memory too... of the first time I did Christmas shopping on my own as an 'adult' (I think I was 17 or 18 at the time). I was in a questionable relationship. The events in and of itself is probably mundane, but I think there's a story to explore in the internal experience of the whole thing.

Thanks for the inspiration!
