The Panic of Christmas Shopping

Thanksgiving has come and gone....and you know what that means now.  Yep, the horrifying panic that is Christmas shopping starts to sink in.  Don't get me wrong; I LOVE Christmas shopping.  And now that I have a job, it's much easier than in the past (ie. I actually have $$$, and I don't have to just used saved up birthday cash from October).  But, still.  It's always a panic trying to find the perfect item for each person, and of course, during my shopping extravaganzas, I always find something that I want, and I have to convince myself to wait just a little bit longer before I buy it.  It's not even December, and I've already found two things that I want.  I'm really tempted just to buy them....What do you think?

  1. I think I've already bought a couple lovely things for you in France, so you can just leave all those silly American baubles be and buy me something nice in return ;)

  2. You're actually going to be hard to buy for, Gaby! I mean, what do you get for someone after they have seen the splendor of France? :P

    Don't worry; I'm sure I'll think of something ;)

  3. You've got what? Twenty-eight days? Plenty of time to recoup. Buy the stuff.

  4. I always have to resist the temptation to buy things for myself as Christmas approaches. Sometimes it is hard.

  5. Tell people to buy you those things for Christmas! They are probably frantic to find the perfect gift for you (and then maybe they'll give you a hint for themselves).

  7. Just remember that I will love whatever you get me not because it's awesome and just what I always wanted, but because it's from YOU...at least, that's what I'm supposed to say to the France comment, isn't it? ;)
