Holiday Shopping

Well, folks, it's that time of year again... okay, actually it really isn't.

I generally wait to post this a little closer to Christmas... like AFTER Halloween at least, but it has come to my attention that folks are shopping early this year.

To those of you who are shopping for us this year, DON'T. We are only planning on buying gifts for immediate family and children of our acquaintance as we have for the past 2 years. What few gifts we are buying we are keeping to a minimum of well thought out but not extravagant items.

And speaking of immediate family... those of you who happen to be related to us and are feeling the wallet pinch may also choose to not buy us anything and in turn we will not buy you anything... you save money, we save money and we all know that we really thought about buying all kinds of wonderful things for each other without the panic attacks that come with the post-holiday bills. Drop us a line and we'll discuss it further.

We would love to get together and see everyone... especially those of you we haven't seen in a while, maybe have a potluck dinner or do something for New Years.

But I really, really, really don't want to think about Christmas until I have a tummy full of turkey, or at the very least, full of Halloween candy, okay?
