Nice gifts evereybody! Betsi and Gayle, please post pix of what is in all yourn little boxes! Linds, what is Scott giving you?
Jessica, I love that you bought the TV, and at a great price! I also do a lot of shopping for myself when I am shopping for everybody else. My ex used to buy me beautiful gifts, but at some point, it really comes down to love is all you need, and I didn't love him.
Janet, it sounds like you and Rick have become good friends. I hope this is true, because that would be really nice for you!
I think I am done. I wrote out a bunch of checks for the staff around here, my hairdresser, and so on. I got lucky with the kids. Mackenzie has not picked out which cell phone she wants yet, but she will get to it. I can do a Walmart run for her phone and smartcard. Jessie went to Albany, and picked out gifts from me to Brandon and Kassidy, within my budget for them. I think she is even going to wrap them! I have a bunch of stocking stuffers for them, but I need a few more, especially for Brandon. They just don't have boy things in the dollar stores! I got the girls beautiful hand knit hats from a friend. She charged so little, I yelled at her! Jessie and Steve are getting gift cards, and that should do it. Jessie is working on a painting for me. I am so excited! She sketches and paints beautifully, and I have been asking her for one. She keeps getting better and better at it too.
I still haven't put my tree out! I thought the kids were coming to sleep over, and we could set everything up together, but they didn't. It should take me all of an hour.
I am finally in the Christmas mood. I enjoy giving gifts to people I care about, I just can't stand the hype, commercials, etc., etc.
Brandon and Kassidy were in the 4th grade school play last week. It was adorable, and Jessie made the costumes. It was about different bugs celebrating Christmas, and at the end, one of the "bugs" wished everybody a Very Merry Christmas. Then he said to have a wonderful holiday if you do not celebrate Christmas. I thought it was perfect! One little sentence, so nobody could fuss about being politically correct, and not a problem at all that this was a
Christmas play!
I have had it with political correctness! Where I live it is all about Christmas, and it is so much more comfortable, like when I was a kid.
