Lucy Anderson hates to shop. That's why she waits until Christmas Eve to do it. "Then, you can't stress over something. ... It's Christmas Eve. What are you going to do? Wait 'til tomorrow?" Anderson is from Conshohocken. Her sister, Virginia Rogers, is from Lafayette Hill and their brother, Pat Anderson, is up from Miami. The three of them spilled out of the Target on Chemical Road in Plymouth Township after just 15 minutes. Before that, they'd been at King of Prussia. "We got there around 12 o'clock. We were out about 1," Lucy says. They stand on the curb outside Target squabbling over who lost the car keys. (No chance of losing the car. The Target parking lot looks emptier than on a normal weekend.) "You forgot that tomorrow was Christmas," Lucy finally says to Virginia. "I did," her sister says.
