I have barely begun my shopping! I have picked up a few things here and there, but am way behind this year.. I like to have it done by now, and sometimes I do! We put our tree up the Day after Thanksgiving..but it is an artificial tree.. a nice big fluffy one, lol.. don't know what kind it is supposed to be. We got a real tree from the tree farm a few years ago,and we absolutely loved it, but of course we didn't put that one up until two weeks before Christmas, and it didn't make it till New Years, which is usually how long we keep ours up. This year, I have my twin grandsons to buy for, and that is something that I am looking forward to, since this is their first real Christmas.. they are 14 months old now.. WOW! My son, is 15, and doesn't want a whole lot.. we usually go way over board on Christmas, but since my daughter is a mom,and my son is growing up.. it is getting easier to please them with just a few things..My husband is EASY to buy for, so I guess I am the lucky wife amongst you ladies! And as for me, I am being a little selfish this year, and buying my self a new computer.. a good one from Dell.. having them build me what I want, and no more of these slow things. I never bought myself anything so extravigant in my life, so I don't feel real bad about it at the moment! When my kids were small, My husband and I usually only bought for them if we didn't have alot of money to buy for each other, but this is a good year, so I told my husband that I would like a set of very nice lamps, .. maybe you have seen them.. they are the ones with the shades that are stained glass..the bigger ones, and they are at TJ Max, if anyone knows that store. I think they are beautiful and would love to have them. What do you ladies want for yourselves?

I've written all the cards and just sent those off to other countries, I've finished buying for my daughter and all my husband's family which i like to get out of the way first if I can, but it get's more difficult each year. My parents are difficult as they have everything and my mum likes surprises so you can't even get ideas!! She loves surprising people too, when i don't mind if i know what i might get. We don't put the tree up until mid December. My birthday is in December & my cards have to compete with the early christmas cards. Sometimes I wish I hadn't been born at this time of year, but it does put you in the mood for Christmas!!
