Christmas countdown, day 7

This was the day that defines why women are the shoppers, while men hang back, praying they don't have to leave their homes on Black Friday. Observe the photo of today's opening ... flannel sheets. There was such frenzy over the home goods that Trace attempted to remove himself from the grabbing of sheet sets (and my camera's view) out of fear.

Apparently, he's not willing to fight for his pick of flannel.

Alena, on the other hand, was setting up a bed on the living room floor, sprawling out her new snowflake print sheets and arranging them as she thought appropriate.
