i do this every year, which i am sure is something i am not alone in doing. it’s not like they changed the date for christmas… it’s been december 25th for my entire life. and yet, i find myself somehow surprised by its impending arrival! i am again, unprepared.

it is not a bad feeling, nor am i feeling upset that i still have stuff to do. i just have to figure out when/how i am going to finish! it is sometimes difficult to find opportunities where i am free to shop, run errands, etc.

i have only a few people left to get gifts for… family, all of them. really a big part of it is a total lack in knowing what to get them! i even have the money right now, thanks to a continued stream of customers of my knitted goods YAY! 😀

so today i am taking one of my former students to lunch, and i think while i am out i will see if i happen upon anything gift-worthy. i don’t like giving things that collect dust. i prefer things that i make (knitted stuffs) or consumable stuff (you know, chocolate, booze, etc).

stay tuned… i will keep you posted on my shopping, although i cannot post what i get or for whom i buy, as you might be the recipient yourself!
wish me luck!
