i started my christmas shopping today! i feel so good...like i'm so far ahead of the game. the thing is, i do this every year. i buy a couple things early and then forget that the time passes quickly and before i know it, it's december 15th and i have a whole lot of gifts to buy in only a few short days.
i'm thinking that option isn't there anymore. i'm so determined this year to get it done early, and pace myself. i don't want to be scrambling last minute for all of my gifts. i want to be able to relax and enjoy the season...and i want to be able to find things that people will truly like, not things that i've just come across last minute and figure "it'll do"...
i love christmas. i love everything about christmas. this christmas will be extra special for me and our family because we have kingston! he's an absolute JOY to be around so i'm super pumped to see him ripping paper and playing with ribbon. he loves bright colours and i'm sure he will just love having everyone around him. he won't really understand what is happening this year, but as the years pass i know he will enjoy it more and more.
this year i'm focussing on the kids in our life. as adults we can buy ourselves the things we need and what...but kids get so much joy out of openings presents...that's what christmas is about for me. what i've always loved is watching my cousins rip open their presents and seeing the look of absolute joy and surpise on their faces. it's such a special moment that we really only get to enjoy as a family once a year. and this year our friends kids are old enough to know that they're getting christmas presents...so we'll get to brighten a few more kids days!!
i'm so excited i'm jumping inside... 44 days!
