Waiting until the last minute

It’s unlikely that anyone hopes to be a last-minute Christmas shopper. Putting off shopping until the last minute can make for a stressful home stretch to the season, and there’s no guarantee store shelves won’t already be picked clean. As for ordering something that you cannot find locally, good luck getting it delivered on time.

Despite how unappealing last-minute shopping can be, it’s still a fact of life for many of us.

Don’t let the stress of finding that perfect last minute gift take over the enjoyment of the Christmas season.

Remember that time spent with friends and family is the best gift we can give and receive. Those memories last a lifetime and there is never any need to exchange them.

The staff at the Thermopolis Independent Record would like to wish our loyal readers, subscribers and advertisers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
