Nearing the end
I’m so happy. Two more people to finish Christmas shopping for: my dad and Steve’s dad.
It’s so pathetic, I’m usually done by about two weeks before Christmas. I guess being sick just really put me behind in all things. I’m still waiting on a few things, though, that I ordered this morning. They’re supposed to ship one to two business day shipping, I paid $17 extra for that, so they’d better be here in time. It’s another “piece” of the total gift for my sister, one for a sister-in-law, and one for my mother-in-law. Oh, I just had a thought. We should get my sister’s boyfriend something, too. We like him. I want them to get married. ;-) Ohhh and I got a cousin left, too. Oops. I usually just throw candles and maybe a little something else at the aunts and uncles and then little gifts for the little kids who aren’t so little anymore. But this cousin’s the only boy who’s not old enough to be married (and is married) so I get him something of his own. He’s 12 though, I have no idea what he wants… Well, I hope to finish up the shopping for those four guys tomorrow.
And speaking of tomorrow, I am dropping off a candle order in South St. Louis County and then Sarah, Elijah, and I are going to go to the lights display at Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, ILL. This should be cool. I’ve heard it’s really good, and they have other attractions, too, than just the lights, like a Christmas tree display, free petting zoo, etc. Maybe on the way back we’ll hit that live nativity scene. Then that’s about as much Christmas cheer as I’ll be able to handle. ;-)
