（单词翻译）

 Mike: Wow! These stores are packed! I thought you didn't like waiting to do things at the last minute.

Amanda: I don't usually, but I still have to find something for my grandfather. My family's all going to my grandparents' house the day after Christmas. Anyway, I like the bustle1 of the last minute shoppers, and all the decorations and Christmas music. It really puts me in the Christmas spirit!
Mike: But we have to wait in line for so long, and the aisles2 are so crowded. I need to get something for my mom and my little brother, but if I can't find anything, I'm just going to give them IOUs.
Amanda: IOUs aren't as exciting as having a real gift on Christmas Day, but it's the thought that counts, and I suppose you could put them in an interesting package. Have you wrapped3 most of the gifts you already have?
Mike: No, I'm waiting till Christmas Eve, but I'm glad you reminded me. My mom wanted me to pick up some more wrapping4 paper while I was out!
Amanda: I know that store over there has some on sale. And it's right next to a store that has lots of old movies. That would be the perfect gift for my grandfather!
