EVERYONE AND THEIR mother was out shopping this weekend. Last weekend was a bit soon, and next weekend is cutting it a bit fine.

1. The struggle is real

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

2. You can actually be TOO efficient

Typical me - early Sunday morning shopping intentions greeted with shutters all over town - back to the drawing board

4. This harrowing reality

Warning, there's a lot of people going down Grafton Street not watching where they're going.

6. [INTERNAL SCREAMING]

Whoops!

7. Then this is all AFTER finding parking

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

8. No wonder we’re putting on holiday weight

The goal was to finish Christmas shopping today. Ended up w an unfinished list, hating humanity, and rage gobbling Mcdo fries.

9. Staying at home doesn’t even prevent it

I thought it was a good idea to do my Christmas shopping when I came in at 4am, and hammered. I've probably bought someone a goat.
