    I remember going Christmas shopping at the Burlington Mall back in those days. There was usually a significant line of traffic just trying to get into the parking lot. And once in the parking lot, you could drive around for 15 or 20 minutes before actually finding and practically fighting over a parking spot. But once inside the mall, it was completely packed while Christmas songs played in the background. Back then, it really wasn't Christmas until you did the mall battle. And thinking back, it was actually great. I miss those days.
