Christmas Rush

Like most people, I am of the whole-hearted belief that Thanksgiving doesn't get a fair chance. Between Candy and gifts, most people are rushing through the season of Thanks dreaming of Sugar Plums.

I'm a planner-I like to have things set and ready far in advance. But this most recent challenge? I didn't think even I was up for it!

Have (nearly all ) of the Christmas shopping and wrapping done by 12 NOV.


WHAT?! I do my gift draws in October, but spend most of November obsessing over what people may want, before purchasing in early December. Unfortunately, since we are in Germany it's recommended that we ship anything we want to arrive by Christmas back to the states by 12 NOV.

With this in mind, the Mister and I headed out to a few different souvenier shops this weekend to try and take care of our gifts. We did great (and got to see the supposed World's largest cuckoo clock!) and only have a few more to go.



What are your usual patterns as far as Christmas shopping is concerned?

The past few years we've not purchased gifts for anyone. Last year we were just getting to El Paso so it wasn't even an option. This year, I was finessed with everyone but my husband and brother in law by early November. I'm ordering my brother in laws gift online and its going directly to my inlaws thankfully. And my husbands gifts are coming from my work lol
