For some silly reason as I was watching a television show today, it hit me that Christmas is only about a month away. AND THEN I GOT SCARED!

I usually have shopped my heart out already and gifts were tucked away waiting for wrapping. I usually have all gifts written down, what I've bought and what needs to be purchased. Right now, I have nothing, but an idea for what I'm getting my younger brother - the one who doesn't even celebrate Christmas!

I remember Christmas shopping with Sue. We'd go to a local store and buy gifts for our group at work, which was about 8 other people. We buy all the wrapping paper and bows and go home and wrap it all. We go into work the day before our Christmas break and we pass out our gifts which were always matching in some way. I loved that group, the gifts they gave were straight from the heart - you could just tell.

This year I'm running a little low on money and hope that I am able to get what I'd like to for each person. Sue was always the hardest to shop for. She loved Tinkerbell and fairies for a while, but that has gone down. I wanted to make her a scrapbook, but have no idea what the theme should be - and affording something really beautiful will be hard. Does anyone have any ideas? I know I will get her a willow tree angel, just not sure which one. Last year we exchanged gifts about a month after Christmas and even then, they were extraordinary. She has always bought me the most wonderful things. I, however, cannot afford to buy her what I would really want to this year. What to do ... what to do ...

I'm off to start making my list of what I'm getting everyone. I wonder if anyone is willing to take a picture of what I would have liked to get them??!! Haha
