Christmas - I can't wait!!!!
Perhaps it is because I truly LOVE shopping for ANYTHING, but I seriously can not get the holidays off my mind these days. And yes, I know it is September 16th. I do have a happy little formula to make sure I am truly able to enjoy the holiday season to the fullest and not get stressed. First, I never shop for presents after Thanksgiving. I seriously have already started my shopping and will finish the week before Thanksgiving. Then the weekend after Thanksgiving, I can take my sweet time decorating the house. After that I spend all the weekends of December leisurely wrapping gifts, baking and going to holiday parties. It's the most wonderful time of the year!
This year seems to be even more exciting shopping-wise because there are toys to be purchased for Cooper AND Connor AND Baby Luke. I was talking to Kim today and she advised that she had just picked up a 3 ft tall talking dinosaur over lunch for Connor. So I am not the only retail junky already firing up the engines on the holiday season!!!!
I will have to keep everyone posted with my deals and steals of the season - I think Fleetfarm Toyland opens in a few weeks, it will be my first stop for toys!

I've been working on giftmas knitting since March. Not getting real far, but I did manage to make myself a nice alpaca winter set (fingerless mitts, hat, and scarf). With school I just don't have the knitting time I used to. Thankfully I have a week off of school in October. No sleeping, just knitting!
