This year, Debi's crocheting things for gifts; mittens, caps and scarves. $ is very tight, so she's doing the best she can.

I am done shopping and have sent all my presents to Michigan. Just waiting for a few gifts that I ordered to arrive, then I will wrap them up and deliver them.

That's awesome!! Gifts that are hand made are very special to give and to receive. 8-)

I still have a couple of things to get. Oh joy. :roll:

Yep. I took the easy way out and bought a lot of gift certificates. My cajun kringles have been ordered for out-of-towners. So I'm done!

Almost... Money is tight, so the in laws and us are postponing the gifts till the Friday after Christmas.... :roll:

NO!!! (Do I sound panicky yet???) ... and company's coming in this Wednesday. :eek:

Almost done...just tying up a few loose ends. Gotta go get the stocking stuffers...lottery scratchoff tickets, lifesaver books and other little silly sussies!

I have bought very little this year. Actually have money, but no spirit to buy it or stores that have anything that you want. All the stores in the mall have "hand me down" stock from other stores that they didn't want, so you can imagine what we have. I have yet to find a plain black jacket! Oh you can find purple ones and yellow ones and orange ones and lime green ones, etc...but Brown, Black or Dark Blue, NOT. Of course going to Edgewater in Biloxi is the same thing and I have heard such horrow stories of going to Mobile to the malls I am staying far far away from that town. My daughter has ventured over there twice and said she would not go again! She didn't care if she didn't get any presents under the tree, so it must be bad for her to say that.

So I have a few things, not many, I am going to take off work Thursday and Friday and go find one very small thing per person and then buy gift cards to go with them. A littler personalization and then something to get what they want when our stores get a better choice of stock.

Not yet.

My relatives are coming on Saturday night - my parents will get the shopping done before then hopefully.

Posted: **Tue Dec 20, 2005 1:20 pm**

I made about 160 cookies last night for my friends at work, neighbors and the girls at tap dancing class.

All presents bought and shipped last week to my family in Michigan. Still waiting on a few gifts to arrive that I ordered.

GET SERIOUS!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING?????? :eek:

Actually we only have a few things to get, but I have to take my mother shopping so she can get the things she needs to for gifts for everyone.(she flew in on Saturday)

Posted: **Tue Dec 20, 2005 10:39 pm**

Always have waited till the last couple days. Looks like it will be a mad rush again this year for me. :roll:

One of these years, I will do it the smart way!
