I budget all year long for my Christmas shopping. I get all geared up so happy, dressed up like a Christmas tree with my green pants and Rudoph sweatshirt, candy cane earings, and sparkle scunchie in my head and ready to meet the Chrsitmas shoppers and Bell Ringers head on with a happy smile. I get so into it and then shop and shop and shop. I'm worn out but it's done thank heavens.

It's all done, fininshed. Everyone got good stuff. Everyone will be happy. So I think anyhow.

Then, at the last minute I get this feeling of "oh heck, it's only once a year and I could have really choked out a couple of other things" and there I go, with what's left of my budget, now basically defunct, and feel I need to shop and spend all over again.

Got my old blue pants on, grey hoodie, no festive scrunchie or candy cane earrings and just so exhausted thinking about it all and draggin butt out the door.

I'm on my way back to Walmart, darn it.

But this year I promised myself I would not run myself ragged....I did my shopping with plenty of time to spare, baked my cookies last night, cleaned some, and now am just relaxing the Christmas week away! This is the first time I've have this much time on my hands a week before Christmas! It's a good feeling. Marty don't outdo yourself. Take some time for you, relax and enjoy some of that fine tea you sent over!!!

Ok I'm back.

Got the boys each a warm jacket and a little something for Dan's girlfriend's

mother.

Then stocked the house with food, but forgot the mayonaise. Darn.....

Still need something else for Jerry. I'd like to get him a nice step ladder; he only has a really big one and some work gloves like for stringing fence and stuff like that. Back to town.....once more. Maybe like on Friday. I'm presently pooped.

I hate to shop anytime but when its this time of year I just don't have the patience for it all.
 
We don't do that any longer, nowadays if we want something, we get it. Used to be when we had family we would go through all that. Now it's just me and Fran and the animals, So.....we get them stuff for Christmas and watch them enjoy.
