After yesterday’s post, this week’s 10 on Tuesday from Carole might be just what Santa ordered – 10 Gifts You Can Pick Up at the Grocery Store.
This could come in very handy in the 10 remaining days before Christmas!
- Wine! Although you cannot get this at a grocery store in PA, you could stop at the Wine and Spirits store and get a nice bottle of wine (as well as something with a bit more kick for yourself, if need be)
- Beer, which you can get at some grocery stores in PA! Luckily there are dozens of holiday beers to enrich every palate.
- Cheese, cured meats, and crackers. Bonus in that most stores have holiday themed cheese trays available this time of year.
- Holiday Coffee’s for the coffee lover on your list! You could even add in a nice mug or two!
- No coffee lover’s on your list? No problem – you can get Holiday Tea’s as well.
- Christmas Cookies! You can even get a holiday container to put them in and none will be the wiser that you did not bake them yourself, and I won’t ever tell.
- Nuts. This would go especially well with gifts one, two, and three!
- Fresh fruit baskets are thankfully at every market this time of year.
- Is there a baker or a want-to-be baker on your list? Take your favorite recipe and get all the ingredients to make it – you might even be able to pick up a festive bag to put them all in as well!
- If none of these ideas work, you can always get a gift card to all sorts of places!
There you go, Gentle Reader, if you’re feeling the pressure of failing – FEAR NOT and just go shopping!

This time of year brings lots of increased activity, especially on the weekends, so normal weekend tasks go right out the window. I don’t mind the activity, but a jam-packed weekend makes for a Monday that is more unpalatable than usual.
This weekend was one that will make Monday a challenge. All. Day. Long.
And, since most of the “regular weekend tasks” were largely ignored, I am starting today with a to-do list that is monumental. Queue the super-grande coffee with an extra dose of caffeine and some Christmas music turned up loud to get this Monday started!
But, before I jump head first in to Monday, here is all the fun that the weekend was!

I really wanted to have a nice Be Still Sunday today and do a whole lot of nothing except a bit of spinning and reading the latest Spin Off magazine that was delivered yesterday.

Despite having avoided the masses yesterday for Black Friday, we headed out to the Target Boutique bright and early this morning.
Why?
Because, not every strand of Christmas lights ever works correctly from year to year. The Grinch must come and tinker with things after you’ve put them away. This phenomenon occurs every year, without fail!
Once we were finished since there were astonishingly few people out, successive stops were made at numerous places, not limited to, but including IKEA, Spool, and Fat Heads.
Back at home, light adornment of the tree continues.
Twenty quarts of turkey stock is being made while light adornment happens.
Leftovers from Fat Heads just might be happening for dinner. With a beer, or two, or possibly three because Michigan lost to Ohio State, so I have some sorrows to drown!
I hope your weekend is everything you hope for and more!
