We completed another small chunk of Christmas shopping yesterday and I’m feeling pretty good about it. I often second guess the gifts we give but so far I think I’m pretty happy with the decisions we’ve made. However, I am realizing that time is catching up to me and I need to finish up here soon! I also need to send out the things I’ve crocheted that people want to give as gifts. I have a stack of finished projects and I keep forgetting to mail them out!!! I think I’ll go hijack someone’s Purolator capabilities…
I still need to buy for Brady, but I have a decent idea of what I’m getting him. We are totally stumped for Dekker though. No idea!!! We’re gonna take Saturday and just peruse the stores and see what we come across. Our son is so blessed to have more than he needs already, but it sticks us with trying to figure out what the heck to get him!!! I’m almost tempted to just take some of the things we’ve bought him in the past but haven’t actually pulled out for him and just wrap them up, haha! That might classify me as a terrible parent.
Other than my boys, I just need to decide a few things. All my friends with babies. I’ve bought for the couple, but do I buy for each baby? I don’t know the rules there, and there were considerably less babies last Christmas! We’re on a bit more of a budget this year than we’d like, and even our friends are getting smaller gifts, so maybe the babies are left out this year 🙁 Hopefully our friends still love us.
Maybe once shopping is done, my car can relax. Poor Stella goes to the city pretty much every day, and neither she, nor I, nor Dekker are super pumped about that. This is the busiest weekend of the month (so far) so maybe things will relax a little. I know, its not normal for life to slow down as Christmas gets closer, but at least maybe I’ll be home, wrapping gifts, baking, tidying, getting ready. Maybe one day we’ll even have time to decorate our tree! We’ve just been so busy and haven’t wanted to rush the process, you know? It should be fun! Maybe…Monday?
Tonight though, I am off the Christmas shopping bandwagon and will hopefully find some time to relax and have coffee and banana bread with my boys, while listening to a friend perform music from his EP and hopefully some new stuff I haven’t heard yet. Looking forward to it! Anyone wanna join?
