Christmas Shopping....Anyone?????

I know it's August and I know what you are thinking!!!!!! But do you realize how many days until Christmas? 121..............
Yes.....I know you are saying...Jen.....shut up...... But it's true....Christmas is right around the corner...and I'am a Christmas fanatic.....I love this holiday. LOVE IT!!!!!!!
I get everyone a Christmas present down to the mailman. Yes.....I do. Scott says why do you get the mailman something...he has a great pension and makes good money....I just roll my eyes...its not the gift its the thought. So many people forget this.
I have started shopping......little things. Last year I didnt get to enjoy it as much....Miller was just born and well, I had a little bit of the baby blues......so I could careless who got a gift.....I did bake cookies for the mailman though.
I love Christmas shopping though. Walking into the mall and going from store to store...looking for sales or that perfect gift on my list. Grabbing a cappucino and going...nothing like it. The hussle and bussle doesnt bother me that much ...when I see someone upset or angry or trying to get around me I just smile really big and say MERRY CHRISTMAS...that either ticks them off because they know they are being rude...or changes thier attitude.
I always go out of town for a weekend to shop...useally with friends....I love the smells of shopping....coffee's, candy coated pecans, Hot Chocolate.....it's always nice to have this smell.
This year we are going to Nashville the 2nd weekend in December....looking forward to it.No kids.....that is always nice. I love looking at the Opryland Hotel Christmas Lights....they are so beautiful and shopping there is like a winter wonderland....its great. They have the sweetest neatest shops.
Christmas Shopping......I have already started mine.....and love every gift I purchase....let me know if you have started yours.....or if you dread it.
Happy Monday!!!!!
