Okay, big news. I’m weird. I gave my first Christmas gift for 2008 – in March. weeks ago. it may even have been the last week of February. and I’ve given three or four more since. Yes, I know, I should probably be sending it in to PostSecret…specialists might identify this as a problem…just a little co-dependency issue. Bless her heart, she can’t help that she’s already giving Christmas presents.
Just look at this cute red sled with stars for every member of the family – and the artists here at the store are the best at personalizing! See, I have a friend who asked me “what Christmas stuff do people buy in March?” -which I naturally considered to be a throwing-down of the gauntlet. Went straight down to the Ornament Gallery and picked this one out, plus an adorable penguin with a big red heart for each of his girls. He thanked me (sincerely) a week later for having to pull out his tree again so that the girls could immediately hang their penguins. You’re welcome. by know, you should know better than to test me.
Have you started your 2008 Christmas list or shopping yet? If not, you’re already behind – two or three curves! Even 5-year-olds are already working on their lists, and the end-of-season sales for winter stuff are long gone. Came across some folks with tons of great shopping ideas to help you get started, if you’re not like me. Too, I really like the idea of spreading out the cost of Christmas so I’m not so afraid of December.
Consider the gauntlet thrown!
