Christmas

I know, it's only November right! 

Well yes it's only November but Christmas is sneaking up fast ..... way fast.

I feel like its going to be the 25th December before I know it.  I went and did some Christmas shopping after work tonight because I feel like I'm way behind in my preparations.

I have a lot of people still to buy for ...... and I still need to come up with ideas.

I love the whole getting together part with friends and family and the cooking and feeling of winding down for the year ... but I do wonder if we're not all getting too focused on the presents part of it. 

But I must admit I also love finding that secret surprise present that you hope the recipient will love and cherish .... so I guess I buy into the whole present thing just as much as anyone. 

Tonight I found some Harry Potter lego for my nephew who loves all things Harry Potter at the moment.  I bought some solar powered christmas lights to put out the front of my house.  I have a camellia bush at the front so I'm thinking of threading the lights through the bush.  

I found a present for one of my brothers and I have an idea for one of my sisters .... but thats barely touching the sides of my shopping list! 

So wish me luck peoples .... I feel I may need it to get through my shopping list on top of a busy time at work......
