Christmas is such a Wonderful time of year,
But for many ( mainly ... my husband !) it's the most stressful time of the year.
Why? you wonder.
Because the last thing he would rather do is shop... and specifically for ME.
Every year we tell each other " Thou Shall Not Buy Each Other Presents"
but that's a lie. I always buy him stuff. But one year he played by the rules and my children were shocked on Xmas day when Santa forgot mommy's present.... but luckily "this" mommy never forgets about mommy!
I had secretly purchased myself a few thingies ( Just in case) and wrapped them up too!
So this year, my husband got smart and asked me for my Christmas list. I unlike my children scotch taping ToysRus pictures all over a looseleaf, have created a little collage to inspire and aid my Shopelessly -deficient hubby from scouring the malls on the 24th of December.

So, here it is 12 days before Christmas and despite all my creative efforts to ease my husband's "wait till the last minute" tendencies....
I'm curious to see what my Santa leaves under the tree !
Have you all made your Xmas purchases already? or do you prefer to wait till the very end?
Merry Christmas & Happy Shopping to all !!
