CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SCENARIO
Maisie waits for Black Friday each year to do her Christmas gift shopping. She maintains the tradition of gift-giving faithfully, as it makes her feel a sense of kinship and attachment with her family and close friends. As she lives alone, she strongly feels the need for relationships at this time of year. She steps out wearing her warm fur coat to protect herself from the sub-zero temperatures. As she shops for her gifts, she comes across a pair of designer sunglasses that are on sale. She buys them immediately as she does not like her old pair, and has been thinking of replacing her it with a new one. As a rule, every year, she buys her mother's gift last, after she has checked out all the available gift options. This year, she gets her mother a pair of exquisite pearl drop earrings. She is a bit anxious because they are very expensive and she hopes that her mother will like them. While at the jeweler, she decides to buy herself an ornate Christmas dove as an indulgence. Maisie has had a fascination for them for as long as she can remember. She has a huge collection of Christmas doves in various sizes and colors. Maisie comes back tired, but satisfied with her day's shopping.
