I'm one of those people. I actually got up this morning at 6 a.m. to go wait in line at Target for a Wii system. What a dumbass. But I got one! I hate the whole process of buying into this season's hottest gift -- it smacks of unoriginality and blatant consumerism. But I knew it was the perfect gift for Tim and I've been wanting to get it for quite some time now. Luckily there was no pushing and shoving, and I kind of bonded with the other people in line. It actually wasn't that bad. And I feel so good that most of my Christmas shopping is now done. But I still can't help feeling just a little bit dirty and used by the whole experience.
Of course, the second I got home I yelled at Tim for not having his phone on (I needed to get in touch with him and couldn't, as usual). Kind of defeats the purpose of getting up and doing something nice for him.
