The count down to Christmas is coming to a close. Only a few days left. Because I am a unprepared “ninimuggins” (Elf) I just got back from Christmas shopping. I wasn’t just finishing my shopping I was STARTING my shopping. But the good news in that I did finish it today so no worries there. I grossly over spent compared to the money I have but I think everyone will enjoy their presents so it was worth it. I like to get people something nice for Christmas because I usually get people really crappy present for their birthdays.
But I was surprised at how fairly easy it was for me this year . Usually it takes me hours to pick and purchase presents for others. I have trouble shopping period but when its for other people it makes it extra hard because I usually worry about what people really want and the money I should spend. Last year I was literally brought to tears at the thought of buying a gift for my father. I am extremely crazy.
Last year my mom started a tradition of everybody buying a smaller “stocking gift” for everyone on top of your “main” gift. Last year I got really worried at the idea of having to pick out more present for people it turned out to be really fun. This year I decided to make everyone their own mix CD with music that I think they would like. There is a lot of Ben Folds going on because I have recently heard a few of his songs a fell in love so I have been really obsessing about his music lately.
And as an extra present to my mom I broke my retainer today so she gets to take me to the orthodontist tomorrow. yay for her!
Well I have to return to my families “Christmas fun”
