Done

Thanks to the wonders of online shopping, I'm almost done with my Xmas list. I did some book shopping at Amazon for the last of it (and ended up with a few titles for me) and now here's hoping it all arrives on time. I have one gift to buy and will probably head to the mall for that. And to top of all the Christmas hoopla, this is my first holiday without my family, so I'm making my first Christmas dinner solo and am inviting some other alone friends over the meal. So wish me luck!

Oh, and Rae, I hope you're having a blast!

Denise, "Xmas?" Tsk, tsk, tsk... :-)

Yes? It's the written form my grandmother and great aunt used -- I saw it as much growing up as Christmas. Maybe it's a Britishism to use it, but that's my heritage so....?

All I know is I'm not even close to being done with the shopping, haven't even started the wrapping, and am starting to feel extremely stressed about the whole thing.

But that's just me...

zombyboy, it helps that this year I'm broke, so shopping is in sparse style :) If I had a bigger budget, I'm sure I'd still be shopping!

That's what I call a silver lining, my friend.

Denise, yea! Good for you :)

I wish I was finished. I have a few more things to purchase for R when I return.

You know, when we give less, it seems our children are happier and more appreciative, but I so know what you are talking about. I want to give them much more....

Denise, I'm just giving you a hard time. Re: Xmas.

I have ONE more gift certificate to get. Yes, I purchased those evil, vile things (I personaly love them). Being 35 weeks pregnant and feeling MISERABLE I had to keep things simple this year.

To make it a little better I am shooting some video for my family to see where we work and live. I'm hoping to be able to open some gifts early from my mom and dad..... just so they can see the reaction of the gift opening (which my mother loves). If we have to sacrifice and do that, so be it.

Patrick, 10-4 on that :)

Amy, I actually like getting gift certificates too.
