I don't have bratty kids telling me to" get me this or get me that", if they got that way, then my husband would bring them coal home for their stocking! ( he works at the coal dock) I love Christmas time, the first christmas decor to go out in my house is our Nativity set and Advent wreath, we decorate out tree last but it is still fun. I start Christmas shopping early because I have 4 children to shop for and starting in December just doesnt work for me  |
Oh I definitely understand shopping early... ya gotta get deals when you can and it's so hard just to do everything at once with other responsibilities and priorities popping up... I shop throughout the year or try to anyways. I just hate how stores make christmas so commercialized... it's sad to me.
