Is Christmas really
as close as it seems, my Lord
I am so behind.
A few gifts are bought
Decorations are done now
Tree is trimmed, lights hung.
Time goes much too fast.
Need to get going here soon,
maybe this weekend.
I have been so lax with what I need to do for Christmas and now I can see that was not a good idea. I hope that I get some more of my shopping done this weekend. I'll be at the consignment store on Saturday so maybe I can find some gifts there, since I am trying to be thrifty. I've spend a reasonable amount of money so far. I am trying for the thoughtful yet inexpensive purchases this year and so far its going good. I got my mom an indoor herb garden for the window sill in the kitchen; my dad new martini glasses; my aunt who I chose in the drawing scrap booking supplies; my cousins some really cool Eric Carl board games at Marshalls for 1/3 of what they were at Meijer. So I have a few friends left, the grandparents and my brother. I really wanted to sew some things for Christmas but I just don't have the time. Maybe next year I can get a sewing machine and get to work on that.
Well all for now, I'm here at work till about 3pm today, then I have a meeting at school. Tomorrow I am working at 3 Belles from 10-1 then hanging out with Andrew and Sunday I might bake cookies with my grandma!

I haven't really done anything in preparation for Christmas. I made snowflakes and hung our countdown calendar, but my father-in-law is making a stand for his grandmother's tree, which is ours now.
I haven't bought presents because we're behind in the bills. The holidays are kinda depressing when you can't be a part of the giving.
With the big move, I haven't done *anything* yet in the way of shopping. Our tree is still on the moving van, and presents have yet to be bought. I may need to resort to gift cards this year. You are still ahead of me, and I'm glad you are able to keep it frugal.
Christmas comes SO quickly. I had my family Christmas party this weekend, so I am done with that side of the family. Now I just have to work on my husband's side!
