Yep, I start shopping in early September for birthdays and Christmas. I take my helpings of "Are you freakin' crazy?" with a grain of salt. (taste better that way) You know I'm a list maker and here's my early why list!
I shop early because:
I have listened intently all year long for little hints of what EACH and every one of my recipients might like.
I can google and search and price each idea and generally purchase for the best price...(even with holiday sales)
I am not one who likes to be rushed...for anything...ever!
I like to save my holiday time for enjoying my friends and family...not shopping.
Holidays actually come and go pretty quickly... I'd rather be ready and not go than to go and not be ready....you all know that!
This year I have a shower to plan for too and all good things take time!
It actually saves me money....I'm not getting gifts at the last minute with money I don't have.
Proof positive, I have 5 free days (with nothing planned) out of the next 18.
FYI... Shower is under control and I only lack a couple of big projects to be completed. The abrupt closing of the Lake Side Grill put a hitch in my "get-a-long" but because I planned early, we were able to switch lanes without a total meltdown................................or burn down (which crossed my mind) The arrival of Jett's flight is still on time! It's never too soon!!!
