reason #142 why…
…I should be a personal shopper…
With the exception of the those for Mike, Griff, and Eliza, I have completed my Christmas shopping. That’s right. And it’s hardly Thanksgiving. Go, me. Every niece and nephew, every friend and far away love, every teacher, every in-law.
Last year, it was a stressful season with jewelry making and present buying (and wrapping and mailing and on and on) and that darned insurance class and writing Mika’s birthday story. It was just too much. So I decided to try to do as much as possible on the shopping early this year to eliminate at least one stress.
I put the ornaments for everyone on layaway at Hallmark months ago (and I’m close to being done with my payments), and I’ve been picking up gifts and putting them aside for quite some time. I’m not sure yet, but I may have to give Mika her birthday story late this year (again, I signed up for an insurance class & have to start and finish it by Dec. 15). But we’ll see… that’s always one of my favorite things of the season.
I’m aiming for an easy, enjoyable holiday season this year. At this moment, I’m feeling pretty good about my chances.

You are awesome! My goal is to be done by Thanksgiving– which I miss every year b/c I put the hubby in charge of boy gifts & he is a very last minute decider.
The only gifts Mike buys anyone all year long are for me. I buy for everyone else… everyone, everyone. 
Well, there’s your problem.
