You know- I was reflecting today that I started this particular Christmas season really excited about the holiday- I thought I would be done Shopping by December 12 & enjoying myself for the rest of the season. No hustle & bustle- running from store to store in the crowds. Surprise! I was out until nearly 9 tonight running around trying to complete all I needed to do- especially ms 12’s gifts I just didn’t know what to get her this year. I’m hoping to complete the wrapping by Tomorrow night so I’ll know if there’s any more I need to do in town on Wednesday. We shall see. The house looked especially inviting tonight when I came home at least.

Oh, for the good old days when people would stop Christmas shopping when they ran out of money.  ~Author Unknown
