Ugh, me either. It's been so warm here and I'm struggling to get in the Christmas spirit. It was cool and gorgeous yesterday and still cool today. It's supposed to warm up again.
I keep saying I'm going to make a list and get started. Everyone has everything they need. Even my nieces and nephews. My sister said don't buy them anything because I take them throughout the year and do a lot with them. I can't show up without a gift though. |

Same, and usually done by now. No idea what to get anyone this year though. It's all the same shit year in and out. Told everyone I don't want anything. Just looking forward to traveling home to spend time with everyone for the next 3 weeks.

We always get Christmas shopping done early. Finished in October. My brother-in-law does it Christmas Eve. I don't see how he can stand it. Rushing, crowds, must be a madhouse everywhere. lol

I would be fine never receiving a Christmas gift again in my life, if it means that I'd never have to shop for a gift for anyone else again

I feel the same way. We are fortunate to be able to buy whatever we need/want. I feel at this point we're just swapping money and I might get something that I don't necessarily want/need.

I confess Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love everything about it, including giving and receiving gifts.

Christmas:
Son 1: asked for bar stools. We found several sources, just haven't followed thru Son 2: Mom had some Thomas Kinkade ceramics, about 5x7, one for each season. We had them framed, and will give to him when he comes down. Son 3: He's learning to be a teacher. I got him a copy of Einstein's saying about learning. Being framed now Dad's Wife: I was clearing some thing in the backyard and found a box with her pictures, and a scrapbook that got wet and moldy. My niece does that artsy-stuff, so she made a new book with name and a rose. Dad: probably get him a goat, or some other farm animal. Maybe the local food share That just leaves the wife . . . |

I love this time of year. The decorations and how cozy it feels. I need it to be colder so I can light some fires. Turning the thermostat down and lighting a feel just isn't the same lol. I'm just struggling this year.

That's exactly it. Unless someone wants to buy a new fence or to re-side the house there's nothing want or need. Maybe a Ferrari but everyone just laughs and thinks it's a joke. |
