I never was one to wait until the last minute to start my Christmas shopping - save that one year I stopped somewhere on my way to Christmas Eve with my family for a gift. With the girls now, I feel like if I don't start planning in April I will be endlessly behind and lost in the drones. Of course, the hottest most desired toy list of the year doesn't come out that early, so anything purchased prior to that may not meet with the masses standards.
Ok, so what is my point exactly with my nonsensical rambling right now? Well, I can never be totally sure myself. All I know is that as we delved into the wretched world known as Christmas shopping, I felt some happiness as I tossed items into the cart for the girls and their cousins. At one point, I could feel myself thinking, who cares - what's one more toy! I truly dislike how early Christmas is thrust upon us - creeping into other holidays before they are even past. But, when the season is truly, officially upon us, I am in love. The sites, sounds, smells and meaning of Christmas is one of the things I truly enjoy. Of course, all of it is so much more special with my girls.
