The downside of the holidays

The downside of the holidays - shops close too early.
Damn, should have learned from last year. Or the year before.
I think I even made a blog entry about it.
One of the previous years I forgot to buy food before the holidays and had to survive on gas station toast and pot noodles for a few days.
It's not as bad this year cause we have food but I really wanted something sweet from the shop and remembered they close early today.
Blah.
