christmas shopping

What does this site actually sell?

Sure, I had my credit card out ready to start Christmas shopping early simply because these products are just so righteous. But it took a few minutes to figure out the site’s true, sinister purpose.

I forgot how much I love it when I finally finish my Christmas shopping. Although, this is a dangerous time. Now that I have everything I NEEDED to buy, I start picking up things that I don't need to buy. But this is now my favorite time of the season. I look forward to the mail every day. I really love getting Christmas and Holiday cards. Such a nice change from the bills and junk mail that usually fill our box. I do get a little bit upset with all the catalogs that we get. It's crazy.

Anytime H gets sick, J gets it twice as bad.

She came home from school on Friday with a very slight fever, coughing, feeling crummy. By Saturday night she felt much better.

She's still coughing, but playing basketball and studying for exams just like normal.

J stayed in bed on Sunday, and didn't go to work until this afternoon. Still feels terrible.

I guess I should be glad they didn't pick up the stomach bug that's going around school.

I drove H to Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond today so that she could finish her Christmas shopping. She had something very specific in mind to get...wouldn't tell me what it was. She is SO excited about Christmas this year. I think it's because she has done all her own shopping, with her own money. She's starting to "get it"...you know, the feeling of wanting to watch people open the present she's selected for them. I hope everyone else does a better job than I did with the gift she gave

Ian and I have finished all of our Christmas shopping (ok, except for one gift but it’s alcohol and we can’t buy that on Sunday because Tennessee is LAME) before Christmas Eve.

We rock.

Today's entries comes from my favorite old time radio show, The Great Gildersleeve.

With Christmas a mere four days away, everyone seems to fall into one of two categories; the bah-humbug types who are fed up with the last minute hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, and those who are bound and determined to spread holiday cheer. Some of my favorite local bands apparently fall into the latter category, and have posted seasonal songs on their Myspace profiles. Here's a roundup the yuletide offerings from some of Nashville's finest...

Sorry about the delay, but life was a bit packed with Christmas cheer there for a couple of days.

I'll make it up to you with three Christmas-themed episodes of one of my favorite comedies, The Jack Benny Show.

Jack Benny - Christmas Shopping for Perfume (1939)

Jack Benny - Christmas Party at Jack's House (1939)
