It's not like I don't really like Christmas. I would probably be enjoying the season more, if I had all my shopping done. My problem this year is I don't know what to get everyone. There are so many people to shop for and no one is giving any good ideas as to what they want. Really I'm too the point where I'm going to have to either give in and do gift baskets or gift cards. Which I loathe doing, just because it's not about the money. When I give cash or gift cards to me it feels like a gift pay off. I'm stating "Hey, I had no idea what to get you so heres some cash have a blast.". That's not really the Christmas message I like to send to people. At this point in the season that's what I'm having to resort to, and it bothers me. I'm hoping next year to start shopping earlier, and finish up by December 1st. That was the plan this year, but money didn't work out like I thought it was going to. I'll probably start saving money for birthdays and Christmas around February or March. This might save us some financial pinching around the holidays next year. At least I'm hoping it will.
