The Pace
Nearly four hours into the shopping day and the pace has slowed down to a leisurely flow. I like it this way. I don’t like to fear for my safety from a runaway shopper.
The gung-ho deal shoppers have rummaged through their chosen stores and have swiped every deal that was available. Now the people are enjoying themselves doing more window shopping than anything else.
It took a little while, or I didn’t notice it at first, but the Christmas music is now being pumped through the mall’s (River Oaks) audio system.
This really makes the holiday season official now.
