    I just told my mother-in-law that yesterday "I can't believe it's only five months until Christmas". Crazy how time flies!

    Because I hate to be strapped for cash, I Christmas shop all year. Especially when the stores are getting rid of their winter stuff. :tongue:

    Ho-Ho-Ho! :bigsmile:

    Ok, now you have to promise not to shoot ME - I start my shopping on August 1st every year for everyone except my hubby and kids. That way it doesn't kill my budget - I buy 1 thing a week - and I have all the stuff done that needs to be shipped out of state in time.

    Happy holidays! :laugh:

    I always say this is how I'm gonna do my next years shopping, but birthdays get in the way(huge family=lots of birthday presents), then school shopping then we finally dive into the Christmas shopping......around the end of November. I really need to start doing it right lol!!

    Yes, I know! I started my new "lifestyle" in September, right before the holiday's started. I don't know HOW I managed to be so successful through that!!! I even went to the Big E in the first week of October...and trust me, that will count as a "food" holiday too!!!! :laugh: :laugh:

    Oh and you forgot all "monthly moments" for women, when either chocolate or salt is craved!! :laugh:
