Christmas All Year Community

I can't believe how close the holiday season is. Have you begun your Christmas shopping yet? I've bought a few things so far. I'm ready for the Christmas movies, gatherings, and all of the festivities that go along with the holidays. I have about 3 weeks until I begin decorating...about 4 weeks until I put up my trees. I'm looking forward to sharing a bit of the holiday season with you all.

We plan to downsize as well. I'm taking my kids to the stores and seeing what they are really interested in & going from there. I usually get each kid a certain amount of gifts. However, it seems that about 30% of it ends up being tossed to the side while they play with their favorites. In the end, it'll save a lot of money if I only buy what they really want, no extras. Thankfully, they're not greedy so they don't go overboard asking for gifts.

Noel, that is exactly what I do sometimes. It definitely does lift your spirits. I need to make a new cd for this season...I lost my other one. Once I do, I'll soon be riding around town jamming to Christmas tunes too.
