Today I did it....I started my Christmas shopping. Last night I had to return my desk to walmart because after trying to put it together and finding several very important pieces bent and not able to be used I took it back and got my money back. Anyway I went to Dilly Dally's www.dillydallys.com and started on buying Christmas presents. I have all but 2 children bought for all for under $25. This thrills me because I am usually a last minute get to the mall before it closes kind of shopper. Today is making up for my bad day yesterday.

I used to start "official" shopping in October, but I would pick up stuff throughout the year of something caught my eye for a specific person and save it for Christmas, so usually the Xmas shopping wasn't too stressful. I always did end up back in the mall three days before Christmas to get something, not even necessarily a gift, so I kind of feel it wouldn't be "the Holidays" if I didn't spend a few hours in my car at least once just trying to get OUT of the parking lot with all the traffic.
I hate to say this but I think I'm not doing any Christmas shopping at all this year. What with everyone being "too busy" all freaking year to even contact me, and I got zero christmas or birthday presents last year, it doesn't seem worth the energy. Shopping used to be a joy because it was all about the giving, not the receiving, as long as I had some quality time with people around the season. This year I'm disillusioned and I don't think I even care.

Congrats!
I used to have all mine done by September, taking advantage of the summer and school sales... but since no one is in my life any more, well, I DON"T HAVE TO BUY ANY PRESENTS! This is really great, bug, for you will have them all paid for by the holidays, if you charged anything... how wonderful!

I envy you and your early "get up and go" attitude. I have no idea what I am going to do this year with me being so busy. I will probably end up buying a lot of things online..just easier that way.
I think we should have a christmas party here...maybe in chat or something. I know that I tend to get depressed around the holidays...and I figured that I am not the only one. Maybe a party would make things easier. Jessica

That is great
 Accomplishment(s) (pardon my spelling or ,mispelling) no matter how big or small can be so uplifting And being that you are not going through "that last minute thing" reduces stress, good for you DE
