Belle and Ian are on the street in front of
Vickie's on December 23rd.
Ian: Do you mind waiting here while I run in quick and pick something out for my secret Santa gift.
Belle: Are you sure you don't want help?
Ian: Nah, I have three sisters, I should be able to handle this.
Belle:No problem, I'll get a hot chocolate next door and wait for you here. It's pretty nice out right now, no wind.

Inside, Carly helps Kevin try to choose a for his secret Santa gift. Vickie's has been busy all day and it is late in the afternoon.
Carly: This would be perfect for your Santa gift, and it's just under the dollar count.
Kevin: Are you sure that's the right size...it looks kinda big. I don't know....?
Carly: This is the last one in blue, I can show you something else?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Kevin: I just don't know.
Ian: I DO!...That's perfect for my gift, I'll take it!
Carly: Is that okay, Kevin?
Kevin: Sure...but maybe you can show me something in a different color.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: It's perfect can you wrap it real well. I don't want anyone seeing what I have.
Carly: Sure, Ian...anything else you need to find, I can help you.
 |

 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Belle: That was fast! I didn't even get my hot chocolate.
Ian: Well, then let's go for Pizza around the corner then. I know the kitchen is busy at the HFIM house...so we might as well make sure we get a meal out.
Belle: No anchovies though, please.
Back in Vickie's-shopping is intense!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carrie: Mom, I want to get an overnight case for Gramma, she loves blue.
Mom: Oh, that's a great idea. I'm sure we can find something here.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carrie: This is cute, but it's not big enough.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carrie: There is so much to choose from.
Mom: Hey, Honey. How about this one. It's the perfect size.
Carrie: Oh, great, let me see if I can find things that fit.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carrie: How about a brush, comb, perfume, and body lotion...they all fit. Let's get this. I'll go check out Mom, I have my own money.
While Carrie checks out Mom quickly scouts the racks.
Mom: Okay, I'll look around. Excuse me, Miss. Do you have anything in my daughter's size?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carly: Sure, How about one of these? Very cute and not too short.
Mom: Oh, those are perfect can you hang those up and I'll have my brother pick them up. His name is Patrick. Oooops, here she comes.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carrie: Can I meet my friends for hot chocolate?
Mom: Sure, mind if I tag along for a bit?---That sounds delicious. So do you have all your shopping done then?
Carrie: Yes, everything is checked off my list.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carly: How about this Kevin? It's definitely not blue, and it's the only one. Same price, too.
Kevin: That's super cool, wrap it up and can I get some wrapping paper and a bow, too, please.
Carly: Sure....no charge either. Meet you at the register.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Upstairs, Zoe helps Patrick find the perfect gifts.
Zoe: Any idea what you would like to find for your Secret Santa gift?
Patrick: Hmmm, I don't see anything up here. My sister just texted me to pick up something downstairs for my niece.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Midge: Oh this turquoise dress is adorable. Um, I'm supposed to be finishing my shopping...ugh!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Vickie: Did you find everything you need, Midge?
Midge: Way more than I need, ha-ha.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
...Please may I have extra bags and a few bows...then I can be done.
Vickie: No problem, it really is getting down to the wire. I'm afraid of how busy we might be tomorrow. Today has been, pheeewwwee!
Midge: You have such a good crew---you gals can handle anything! Here comes Patrick.
 |
| bbarbieoldnewgreenredo |
Patrick: Hey Carly---are you trying to trap us upstairs? Any chance you know about some package for my sister?
Carly: Sure Patrick, I just had to get off my feet for a second. It's for your niece so we hid it in the hold section.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Patrick: I know it's supposed to be a secret, but does anyone know Gilly? I got her name for secret Santa and I've never met her. I need some ideas, quick.
 |

Carly: She's my new roommate. She's blonde, ahh-- and a, Zumba instructor, has lots of energy. How about this hooded top---she would look great in this. Maybe add a workout bag or a Yoga mat.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Patrick: Okay, I like the top and the mat idea. I don't want to go over the limit. Besides, I don't know her.
Carly: Once you meet her, you won't have any problem knowing her, she's kinda...er...ah...unique and memorable!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
later....
Carly: Hi, Ryan's mom! Who are you shopping for...?
Ryan's Mom: Richelle and my best friend. I found the most beautiful purple dress for Richelle upstairs. And a gift basket with your new bath products will certainly makes a great gift.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ryan's Mom: I even found something for me...lol. That seems to always happen here. Merry Christmas to you all!
Vickie: Merry Christmas!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Outside...
Merry Christmas, Monnie! Looks like you have all your shopping done.
Monnie: Not yet, how about you---I love that purple dress, is it for Richelle.......?
Ryan's Mom: It sure is, and I got the cutest little purse to go with it. You know they have all those parties and fund-raisers they have to go to for work.
Inside, poor Sindy leans agains the jewelry cabinet. She looks wiped out.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Sindy: If I never bake another cookie, it will be too soon. I haven't gotten a single present bought, yet! My mom is so hard to buy for.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carly: How about this great lounging outfit, Sindy?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carly: Or this soft jogging suit, it was a sample from a local boutique.
Sindy: Oh, I'll take both of them, and I need a secret Santa gift, then I have to deliver my last batch of cookies. Ten boxes of my Ultimate Christmas Cookies. I don't have the energy to do more than that tonight.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Sindy pays for her purchases, and lugs it out the door, along with her 10 orders of cookies.
Sindy: I'll see you all at the party!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: Psssst, was Sindy the last customer. I hope so,....quick shut the door. I have it all straightened up here.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Vickie: Only one more day and then we can put our feet up and have a cocktail. So, how about a quick clean-up and some more bows on the bannister. We need more tissue, too.
Zoe: Sure, there isn't anymore stock to put out---this is it!
Carly: I can't imagine what it will be like tomorrow? Why does everyone leave their shopping to the last minute.
Carly: Giggles.....I'm not done.
Zoe:---Neither am I----giggle.
Vickie: I have one of the guys for secret Santa...
What on earth do you get one of those guys? ...snort!
