My Christmas Shopping Is Done .. In October

Are you jealous? I bet you are. I live near a small town that has really outgrown itself. When I saw the parking lot of the local Walmart-Office Max-Borders-Ross shopping area was full to overflowing on a tuesday morning in September I said to myself: self, I refuse to go to any store during the months of November and December.

So, I went home and made a list and went out and bought everything for all my friends and their children. I bought mostly toys, and a few gift certificates. We are simplifying presents for nieces and nephews that must be mailed by sending money. I ordered two Thomas the Train sets for my son off the Internet. I am not getting anything for my husband, nor he for me hopefully, as we are going to on a week's vacation right before Christmas. That's our present.

Now, I just have to wrap the large stack of presents hiding under a blanket in my office. I wonder if that will be done before December 24th?
