Did you ever forget where you put Christmas.


I am one of those people that start buying for the next Christmas on boxing day. To say that I hate crowds of Christmas shoppers is an understatement. I refuse to be anywhere within 5 miles of a mall after Dec. 1. I am always done my shopping by the last week of November because I just can't stand the crowds the only problem with this is that because I need to hide Christmas presents for many months I frequently forget where I put them and sometimes who I bought for. I think the problem comes from the fact that sometimes I need to move a gift 2 or 3 times over the course of a year. This year I thought I was completely finished my shopping to discover 2 days before we leave for BC that I haven't filled Shawns stocking. This is a very big deal. As part of our traditon on Christmas eve we celebrate with my family and Christmas day his: so we started opening our stockings just the 5 of us on our bed Christmas morning. Don't get me wrong I have bought him lots of presents but none fit in the stocking. Well now with only 2 shopping days left I need to fill his stocking. Well thank goodness Wal-mart is open 24 hours a day till Christmas if I go in the middle of the night hopefully I'll be alone. My worst fear though is running into Shawn he hasn't done my stocking yet either.
