Well I’ve started my Christmas shopping, and I have the two toughest people to buy for all finished. I still have to take Thade to get pictures. I still have to buy for my brother and my sister (in law), but that is it. I’m trying to be all done before the day after Thanksgiving. We’ll see if I get there.

Last Friday I went to a Christmas workshop with my neighbor, and I got a ton of great ideas. I’m trying to attack Christmas from a different angle this year. I’m going to get the meal planning, shopping, and decorating done early. So that way we can all get on with our lives, and make it through another holiday season.
