Christmas on the mind

For the first time in my life, I have a rather lengthy Christmas list that I am adding to daily. Isn't that terrible? Having a new home with many projects still ahead of us has done this to me. Speaking of... I should show you some pictures of the house. I will try to take a few this weekend. Tomorrow is operation garage clean out. It is so cold today here that it made me realize the urgency to park my car in the garage.

What is on your Christmas list this year?

I am working on finishing my Christmas shopping in the next few weeks. Having a baby due in December is working against my inner-procrastinator and I am trying to be very prepared this year. Trying. The key word.

But then I end up doing things like I did today and I go ahead and give the gifts to the person I purchased them for because I know that they could begin getting use out of it now. That is my problem with buying early. It's hard for me to hold back. I am the worst about that. I need to go ahead and begin wrapping items so that I am not so tempted to give them out early. Sheesh.

I will be doing my shopping early this year too. My kids are out of school from Thanksgiving to New Year. So everything must be bought and well hidden by Thanksgiving break. It is going to put me to the test too!

I am impressed. I am excited to start shopping for my secret santa, but need to get my list out there! You should be the first one! I think I already know what I want. We should do it soon :)

Shopping for Christmas early! I'm so impressed!! I"ve been thinking about it, but so far haven't done too much!
Definitely want to see your house when you get the chance.
