Can you believe it is less than 20 days until Christmas? Have you gotten your shopping done yet? Well, I haven't gotten mine all done. I have about half - I hope.
I am working on my list today. I am making a list of those I have to buy for and what gifts I have already bought. I am usually already on top of this, but I have been slacking. I have found that if you don't make some type of list then you will over spend. I have done this for too many years. I would spend Christmas eve panicking because I haven't bought a gift for someone or I haven't bought enough for one of my kids. So, I decided then I wouldn't do that anymore.
Oh - if you do make a list - take it from me and make sure that you keep that list well hidden. My oldest son, found my list, that I had thrown away, after Christmas and that was when he found out about Santa Clause. So, now, they try to find my list. I keep it well hid and I make sure that I tear it up in little bitty pieces when I am done.
Do you have a lot to buy for? Do you make a list? I would love to hear how some of you keep up with buying gifts for those on your list.

Christmas shopping - done! Wrapping - not done :(!
ReplyDeleteAs far as keeping up with buying gifts, my granddaughters are small so I buy what I'll enjoy. We buy practical gifts for everyone else...our mothers are not hesitant about telling us what they need!
