christmas

is going to roll around before we all know it.

I am thinking I should really start my christmas shopping, but damn, i say that every year and never do it.

this year should be easy, gift cards to abercrombie and american eagle for the teenage daughters and toys for the little one and a gift card for the limited II.

has anyone started their christmas shopping yet or plan to?

 

oh no...i wait till last minute...seriously, i wait till the day before and finish up the day of christmas eve

 

with christmas comes my permit, with my permit comes -

 

the little gag gift matchbox car with a pretty red ribbon tied around it?

 

I used to be like that when i was married but i made a vow to get my shopping done at least a week before christmas. I cant stand having to stay up for hours and hours wrapping presents and having to rush. Just doesnt put me in the best of moods.

 

You did NOT just mention Christmas all ready.....

I don't think I'm buying anyone anything for Christmas next year and I'm not accepting anything either.

 

I shop year round and during November and December I go real nuts. I buy for lots of people, I love to give stuff. Last year was the first year I bought for myself and that was the 4 wheeler. Would not have done that except daughter demanded I do something for myself for a change and she is tough and scared me, lol

 

I love to give stuff too. But I have no money currently and I'm not a Christian so why should I have to give presents to people on a Christian holiday? I'll give gifts when I want to not when some holiday I don't celebrate tells me to.

 

I never thought of it that way. No one really says you have to give gifts on christmas, its entirely up to the person, a simple I love you from my kids is enough for me.

I never have the extra money to spend but I always overdraw my overdraft. Its all good, the smiles on my girls face is enough, they just realize there arent many outings after christmas until i catch up.

 

it puts me in a great mood. i dont' get stressed because i always find a great gift. i just like watching the people stress out and rip there hair out and get all messed up...its fun to watch that

 

If I had kids I'd still buy them Christmas presents. That's a bit different.

 

UGH i was just pretending that the world would end on 6-6-6 and we would somehow miss it

 

Gifts dont have to come from stores, can be anything. Give a gift when you feel it in you to do so, its the best time, dont need Christmas to do it.

 

well so far the world has not ended, at least not in my time zone. so looks like christmas is coming.

 

thank the lord, god bless the gray cold winter and its bearded chubby flying man

 

I dont care who you are you fat little man just get them riehndeer off my roof! LOL

 

are you guys talking about that little fat bastard dressed in all red, like some drag quenn, who goes around breaking into peoples homes?

 

Christmas has kind of become akin to a Fourth of July barbeque in my family and it's so much better that way. We no longer give gifts to one another. We just make a point to see one another which in no easy task in itself considering the distance we live apart. I'm sure if their were grandchildren, the holiday would take on different meaning in my family, but as of right now, Christmas is pretty chill.

 

OMG i cant wait for fourth of july. Those are some hecka good times.

Fireworks, bbq, homemade ice cream, swimming, etc.. My second favorite holiday

 

You ever wonder what happend to them reindeer that did not make the cut?
