BY ELAINE TOWNSHEND
It was Friday December
19, 1980, about 10:30 in the
morning. I had just finished
writing a column about
weary Christmas shoppers.
Maybe you remember
reading it last week. Or
maybe you were one of the
shoppers who was too busy
or too tired to read anything
but price tags last week,
On my way to the Post
Office to mail the column, I
turned the car radio on.
People were' calling in to a
talk program to sing their
favourite Christmas carols.
They were having a great
time.
Then some advertising
man announced in a cheerful
voice there were only five
shopping days left until
Christmas.
I began thinking about my
own shopping list, mentally
counting the gifts hidden in
my apartment. Some
problems had been solved
weeks ago thanks to my
friendly Avon lady. I found
more presents two weeks
ago when I dragged my
sister around the city of
London, and my mother
picked up a few for me as
well.
But, when I got home and
checked my list, I realized
my shopping was less than
half finished.
I convinced myself that
after lunch I would be
overwhelmed by the
Christmas spirit. I would
rush up town knowing
exactly where to go and what
to buy. Before suppertime I
would be ready for Christ-
mas. (Ho! Ho! Ho!)
By early afternoon our fair
town was consumed by one
of those snow bands or snow
streamers the weatherman
often talks about coming off
Lake Huron,
Undaunted I 'slithered the
car into a parking spot and
began walking. There were
just the right number of
people in town that day -
enough to make me not feel
foolish for being out in that
kind of weather but not
enough to make the stores
too crowded,
One of my ' biggest
problems was glasses that
steamed up every time I
stepped inside a store. I had
to wait ten minutes before I
could see the goodies on the
shelves.
And of course, my in-
decisive mind caused a few
delays. Which of four ties,
that I liked equally well,
would my brother-in-law
prefer?" I asked myself.
"Probably none!" was my
dubious response.
"What car magazine did
my sister say my nephew
wanted?" I wondered. I still
don't remember,
There was also an
inevitable stand-off: "I'd
really like to buy that gift,
but it's a little out of my
range,"
"Does my nephew need a
novelty notepad? I don't
know, but he's getting, one
anyway." was my answer to
the dilemma.
My shopping expedition
was culminated by a mad
dash down the street mur-
muring, "Bank, please don't
be closed."
In the evening, I sipped my
hot soup and checked and
double checked my list. To
my surprise, I forgot only
one thing, and I've got four
whole shopping days to take
care of it,
I'm not certain when you'll
read this column, but I'm
writing it on Saturday
December 20. Why?
I asked myself how I think
I will feel after the presents
are • wrapped and un-
wrapped, after the turkey is
11111111111111111111111111MMIMUM 1111111,114.:
r
stuffed, roasted and
demolished, and after the
excitement is over,
Unless I break with
tradition, I will feel fat and
lazy not at all in the mood to
sit down at the old
typewriter. I decided to take
this opportunity to say I hope
all of you had a Merry
Christmas and to wish you a
safe, happy New Year and
the best in 1981,
