Things we can count on

While Christmas shopping,

• You will always find terrific things to buy...for yourself
  
• As soon as you purchase a gift for someone, everything else you see in the store will be perfect...for that someone
  
• You will make it all the way out to the car before remembering that you meant to buy new wrapping paper
  
• Somebody's version of Winter Wonderland will be playing

Please feel free to add to the list. I suspect it will evolve throughout the season.
