I'm anxious to start Christmas shopping -- I love buying presents and wrapping them and the whole deal. But some how, I feel like if I start too early I might miss out on the real Christmas-y-ness of the whole experience with decorated malls/stores and music playing...there's something to be said for that -- but there is also something to be said for getting it done early: no stress, maybe better deals, and getting to enjoy the other things that make the Christmas season what it is.

I feel like December is already filling up fast but hopefully I can get in some good shopping days, and I hope M, D and I can do our annual cookie baking day (and maybe make it a gift wrapping day too!)
