Let me tell you a story. Last year, I was sure I had everything. I was smug. Then I broke the corkscrew trying to open a bottle of wine.
The hardware store was closed. The grocery store was closed. I was left staring at a sealed bottle and a broken corkscrew. It was tragic.
The real lesson? Check your pantry two days before Christmas. Make a list. Then double check it. The best store is the one inside your own home.
