    I'll buy a few gifts soon. I didn't start yet, but it won't be long now. Usually the first week of December and I spend lots of time at the mall looking around to see what would be nice to buy for Christmas.

    I'm going Christmas shopping tomorrow, for the first time since 1981!

    As for what I'll buy, I haven't given it much thought yet, but I am looking forward to it

    When I was first dfd I was timid about Christmas. Then as the next year came and I found myself working in a busy decorated retail shop I just said "what the heck!" and went whole hog for that Christmas. For the first time in my life I sent my brother and his wife and now teenage kids a HUGE box of individually wrapped gifts for all. To say the least they were surprised and a bit confused by this sudden interest in the holidays.
    This year I got an email from my brother saying I neednt trouble myself to send gifts this year.
    Oh. Ok.....

    My initial reaction to this news was dissappointment. But quickly this feeling turned to relief!
    I will just send them some roca or something.

    Last year we did the artificial tree and presents and the dogs wore big red bows and we had friends over.
    This year we gave the tree to my MIL and she will have the 25th at her house.

    I am not decorating at all for Christmas this year, but I did treat myself to a big red cinnamon candle.
