I just got an e-mail saying that Christmas is only 43 days away! That doesn't seem possible! Have you ever wondered why they put the two largest and most expensive holidays so close together? I am getting a head start on Christmas this year. I have decided that I will shop early and decorate as soon as I can so then I can focus on how wonderful this season really is! I get to shop for children this year again and that is my favorite part of it all. Why aren't adult gifts as much fun as kids? I already bought my husbands present so I have that one out of the way but I am still stumped for almost everyone else!
My brother is always difficult! He always asks for socks. It gets really boring buying him socks every year! I had a great idea for him this year though! In fact I had two great ideas so I gave away one to his girlfriend.
Dad is difficult but this year I just decided that I would go simple with him and make him a pie. He seems to appreciate that more than anything else anyway!
Since the economy is in such a slump this year I have decided to put a price limit on every gift I buy. I don't know how easy that is going to be though especially when it comes to my nephews!
If anyone has any grand ideas for holidays I would love to hear them! We are all going to be a little crunched for money this year and I would love to hear how you are handling that!
