I'm so on it this year!
Dec. 4th, 2009 10:38 amI feel so accomplished! I've actually ordered Judy and Maryann's gifts already! Still have a few others to go, but I'm feeling very good about this.
I was talking with Maryann last night about how I keep forgetting that I have to get gifts by Christmas (or even a little before, if we do an exchange at a holiday party)! I don't celebrate Christmas and for the last... say around 8-9 years, my family has exchanged gifts on or around New Year's Day. (Which is nice, since it gives us a little extra time to shop!)
As a result, I keep thinking I have all this time to shop, and then I remember that the deadline is earlier than I thought!
Aha! But this year I'm back on track.
I would have written a similar letter to Maryann barring her from buying things for herself, but I know she'll never have come across the thing I'm getting her. She's pretty easy that way. =D
