Christmas Shopping

[techluck]

I too do the kids early so I can find that special toy before it disappears. I remember the year "Tickle Me Elmo" was the craze and I happened to buy 2 early in October. I gave the extra one to the Salvation Army Angel tree.

That's what we do as well. Now all we have to do is wrap presents, not rush about looking for them.

Heh sometime, the rushing and crowds help the feeling of holidays Of course, it's not always entertaining, but sometimes, simply interesting.

Well, I couldn't help myself and bought the first gifts. In a way it's better this way. You have much more time to look around and choices. I only hope I can keep them hidden long enough.

I am happy to report that my final drabs of gift buying is complete, the gifts are wrapped and under the tree. Now, all I have to do is cook the ham for Christmas and all will be well.
