When your favorite holiday is quickly approaching.

But you end up waiting until the last minute to get everyone their gifts.

You don’t want to face the crowd, but you can’t risk forgetting a gift.

The stores are crowded and your patience is running low.

And people are grabbing the last few good gifts right from under your nose.

Then you’re just mad.

And annoyed with everyone.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
