I woke up this morning not feeling all that great. I feel a holiday cold coming on. So even though I was not feeling my best I wanted to start wrapping some gifts. Every year I start out with the intentions of scaling back, and I really thought I had until I started taking presents out of the different places that I had them stashed. As they started piling up I realized that once again I overdid.
My biggest problem seems to be my stocking stuffer purchases. I end up with so many things for my grandchildren that I have had to move from stockings to huge sacks.
Oh well I truly do enjoy shopping and giving to people I love. I guess I will have to remember to scale back next year.
Because I love gift giving so much I have made more present ornaments.
I have the same problem with overbuying "stocking stuffers" too! This year I had to put the stocking overflows into a bag and put it under the tree for my daughter-in-law Shruti! She also complained that my and my husband, Bob's stockings aren't as big as her's and my son's and we should get bigger stockings! I told my husband since we have no problem filling each other's stockings we should forget "big gifts" and just fill our stockings! Sounds like a plan to me, right?
