Technically there are 43 days left til Christmas. However I need to have all of my gifts done before then. Normally by this time of year I have half of my shopping done and most of the handmade, knitted gifts done. This year- not so much. I've decided that some people who would have received a knitted gift won't be getting one this year. I'll start early for next year ;-)
I haven't even begun to shop. I have been un-inspired by the early arrival of all of the Holiday things showing up in stores WAY TOO SOON! There was stuff out at the beginning of Oct. What ever happened to Christmas and other holiday things hitting the shelves the day after Thanksgiving? And now, all of the big sales are starting early; dampening my spirit further. I've always loved shopping early on Black Friday. For the first time in 5 years I think I will stay home and sleep in.
ok, my rant is done!
on a more positive note, I've begun the stalking and spoiling process for the next round of SOAB. I am very excited and hope my spoilee enjoys all of the goodies I am planning to stuff into their box =)
And dear spoiler, if you are reading this- please don't stress. I'm pretty easy to please. I love getting mail. And a little something that would make me squeal like I won the lottery- Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Squares =)
