It is hard to believe that Christmas is only three weeks away! It has snuck up on me more than ever this year. I was able to wrap up a good amount of my shopping on Cyber Monday, but I still have a few things I need to pick out in person. I normally love Christmas shopping, but it has become less exciting over the years with my siblings no longer exchanging gifts. My siblings just need to add a few more kids to the mix so I have more people to buy for!
I love giving gifts even more than I enjoy receiving them. It is so much fun to find a gift for someone that you know they aren’t expecting and perhaps didn’t even know they wanted, but is just perfect for them. I am particularly excited about the gifts for my parents this year. My husband on the other hand, I always struggle with. He works so hard that he doesn’t have time for many hobbies and doesn’t enjoy very many indulgences. Do you have any particular gifts you are excited to give this year?
