I haven't even started yet!
The only thing i've bought is things for my SS!

I'm excited though- i LOVE decorating for Christmas- absolutely love it!!!
To me decorating & spending time with my family is better than gifts!
This year since money will be a little tight with the upcomming wedding in March and all - i'm planning to make a lot of the Christams presents! Everyone loves my homemade candies/cheesecakes so i'm going to do a lot of baking and buy a few inexpensive things to put with it!

I buy for quite a few people and I have a lot bought and ideas for most of the others. Christmas shopping is on hold right now since I am focused on Thanksgiving. I started baking yesterday.

On the farm
The only thing Rob & I are worried about this year is getting something for each other. We are in the process of getting a house built, so we won't be able to afford a ton of presents for everyone like we did last year (but we spent a lot of money then, so we'll just say it carries over until now
) Every year, everyone says they don't want anything, anyway! So hopefully this year they will understand our situation on the home buying.

Oh man, this made me cry. I mean really, really CRY. I'm not sure how much of a Christmas we're going to have this year, but that's not the main issue. I keep forgetting how *close* we are to having a baby! I'm due two weeks before Christmas! How did it creep up on us so fast?

We don't go shopping this early. Usually in early December, to a week before Christmas.

I usually try to start around Thanksgiving when they have all the good sales, but JCPenny's had some GOOD Door Buster specials today - 50% off a lot of great things, so I couldn't pass that up!

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Ev'ry couple tries to stop

You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing
"Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly" Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

Yikes, that puts a damper on things, doesn't it? But its a good thing- a wedding & a house!


I've been searching the Black Friday ads this morning, finding all sorts of good deals, I can't wait!

"Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list,
Checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

6 weeks and counting!!
