Finished Shopping?
Well, have you finished your Christmas shopping or are you one of the stragglers out doing some last minute browsing? I didn’t get my own shopping done until Wednesday after work! And let me tell you, I definitely remember why I have tried to finish my Christmas shopping as close to Thanksgiving as possible during the last few years. I don’t do well with crowds, especially a bunch of rude ones like the ones I ran into on Wednesday! Next year, I think I’ll try to save up a couple of vacation days to use the week before Christmas. At least that way, if I run into a similarly scheduled December, I will have a bit of a breather!
In any case, I’m glad I’m done present buying for awhile. I think the next one is going to be Killian’s birthday in February. My mom’s birthday is before that (January 2nd), but I don’t have to buy any loving birthday gifts for her this year. Last spring, I gave her my iPod nano because I hadn’t used it since I got my phone. We agreed that it would be for her next Mother’s Day and birthday present. Works for me!
Whether you are last minute shopping or not, I hope you enjoy the holiday with your families! Be safe.

I’ve finished shopping THREE times. The last time was the 22nd and it’s stuck. Not leaving the house today, so I’m in no more danger.

I think I am not very good at holiday shopping. I often want the person receiving the gift to just tell me what they want. This is particularly true if I have chosen to spend a relatively larger part of the Christmas shopping budget on the person. Fortunately, this year, even though she refused my request, I was able to catch my wife at a store actually liking something! Voila, I had the perfect gift!
