Unbelievable! Right?!
This past month I've managed to order most of the items on my gift
giving list online and with free shipping.
I have shopping lists on both eBay and Amazon and as time allows I've
made my purchases trying to get the lowest prices and free shipping as much as
feasibly possible. So far, so good.
Right now I have a closet full of gifts that I need to get wrapped
and tagged. I have two sewing projects
on my work table that I have yet to start, but I have all of my supplies
gathered. One good day in November and I
should be able to get those knocked out.
That's my hope anyway.
I've worked on the computer to make our Christmas cards and
started a draft of our annual letter. I
have plenty of envelopes but I still need to make some return mail labels and
some address labels for those I will be sending cards to. This week I stopped at the post office for
stamps and while I was there I bought a book of Christmas stamps. I have four left from last year and now I should
have plenty to send out my cards, letters and any other mail during the
holidays.
I do not plan on buying anything in the way of Christmas décor. Although, that could change. Our exterior lights and most of our interior
lights were shot last year so I may have to give in and buy at least one set
this year. We'll see. I'm hoping we can get by with what we have.
I have yet to nail down my baking and goodie list but there is
still plenty of time for that. I've
acquired quite a lot of ingredients for holiday baking so I'll be able to make
pretty much anything I decide on. We are
also planning our Christmas menu and should have that wrapped up soon as
well. Then I can start working on
accumulating what we need while I'm out grocery shopping. Hopefully I'll be able to get everything on
sale too. That is always the goal
anyway.
That pretty much brings you up to speed on how things are going in
the Christmas department around here.
How are you doing? Have you
started getting ready yet?
You are on a roll missy! I was thinking how short of a time I have left to reach our financial goals this year. Yikes. We have done some major home improvements so that was a drain and I need to refill the bank accounts asap.
ReplyDeleteTimes a flying! Like you I am really feeling the push to get those goals met. We'll make it! :)
