Every year about this time always seems to start the same. It's college football time, they are starting to advertise the State Fair on tv, Halloween costumes are starting to show up in stores. The pumpkin patches will open soon and before the costumes and pumpkins and gone and we can even think about eating our turkeys, the Christmas decorations will fill the stores. I think that Brandt started to make his Christmas list in April, maybe March.
I do like Christmas. I love putting up the tree, remembering each ornament. Some I have had since I was a little girl and some are just a couple of years old, bought for our kids to celebrate each of their Christmases. No matter how hard I try I always wind up running around a couple of days before Christmas, buying the last couple of things. Every year I vow that this will be the year I will not do that. So today I broke down and bought two gifts. Two little things for Blake. Most of his toys have already been through two kids, so a couple of new things for his first Christmas seemed in order. They are safely tucked in my favorite hiding place - the closet under the stairs. The kids won't go in there because it doesn't have a light and Will hates it because I throw everything in there and don't keep in organized. It's really a great hiding place. So once again I vow, I will finish my shopping early, I will finish my shopping early, but not before I eat my turkey.
