I'm going to try to start adding some help list of things that we can do NOW, that would normally get put off till the last weeks or even day before Christmas itself. Here is one of my biggies... I am a last minute shopper, so I am devising a list NOW and beginning to lay away items for people on my list at stores that offer layaway of course... Even if it is something small, it will be something pertinent or specific to that person...Now we have a large family, so we don't go over board, but in the past, they haven't gone without, almost.. when we were young and on the Farm, but that's another story.
Make a list of your closest persons to buy for and then add the outer circle of friends or family...Chances are that while in a store focusing on something you really think that a close member of your family would like, something that someone else would want will "pop" out at you...get it, now !! and cross that off your list...Some may call that impulse buying , but in this case, we need our "impulses" to kick in , Amen ?....LOL
So comment to me...Let me know what you are planning to do with this 9th week before the Holiday to take some of the last minute stress off you !!!
