I'M FINISHED...are you???

Post by jimolliemom »

I've bought it all and wrapped it all. The last gifts came in the mail today. I love Internet shopping!! I got my Mom, who LOVES family history, 2 geneaology shirts. One is a "family Christmas Tree" that's a typical chart with a star at the top and an ornament on each "branch" and one that says "There's a little geneaology in all of us"...how funny huh?

Anyhow, we will decorate the gingerbread house this evening, then drive around to see all the lights. Tomorrow I begin cornbread and biscuits for the dressing. I feel like I'm SO close to having it under control!!!

How close are you???

Did about 80% of my shopping on my lunch hour today. That's one of the good things about where I work. And by shopping in NYC instead of on Long Island, if I buy clothes for anyone I don't have to pay sales tax as long as each item costs less than $110. On LI the sales tax on clothes, combined state and county tax, is 8.625%.

Hence I try to stay away from clothes as gifts unless it's online.
Didn't get anyone clothes this year, all electronics.

I love shopping on Christmas Eve. It's amazing how many people are out there. Got a couple packages to wrap, two boxes to mail, and some sweet potato souffle to finish making...

Oh yeah, and the rest of the Christmas cards to mail!!! (next week some time) [smilie=battingeyes.gif]
