Christmas always comes too fast, it seems. No matter when you start getting ready. Right now I'm figuring out lists of what to get people, and helping people decide what to get my husband. I can always do the cop out of clothes that he needs, so I give the "better" gift ideas to family. Then I have to figure out what is going out to people from my daughter. That's the tough part. She's two, but we always have a gift from her to the grandparents and to her daddy. (Yes, she does give me gifts too, but I'm the primary one that does the thinking like this)

The main problem I'm going to have this year is getting my MIL's gift ready. She has a ton of random recipes all laying around in a drawer. I have a Recipe Book making utility on my computer that my husband made, and I'd like to get them all into a book for her. The problem is, how do I get all of them without her knowing? I'm thinking a "nap" on Thanksgiving is going to be needed. I'm pregnant, so I can pull that off. While everyone is at the other house (three houses on the same farm) I can go up and start making copies.

Oh, and we're starting to figure out Christmas at the church as well. We always have the kids' program on Christmas Eve, so we're getting that ready. Well, at least as to who will have what part and figuring out the songs.

Went to Kohl's today to pick out a shirt for my father-in-law (birthday gift) and they are having a great sale right now. So now I have most of the girls shopping done. And got started on the hubby's, too. I like being done sometime in November. The grandparents are getting calendars with pics of the grandkids in them and anybody else is getting a basket of homemade goodies. So I am 75% done! Hooray!

I am not ready for Christmas. Figuring out to get everybody that I can actually fit in my budget that they will actually like.

I am starting to get excited about it, but I feel that Thanksgiving gets totally forgetten which makes me sad. It is my favorite holiday.

I am trying to figure out what to get youngest dd's teachers (3), bus drivers (3) and therapists (2). That is 8 people that are wonderful to my special needs 5 year old. Any ideas??????
