Viv, I do the my grands...Your turkeys are so cute!<br /><br />Viv, I do the my grands Christmas stockings and that's it! And I buy stuff for the stockings all year long saving the Christmas candies for last. As much as I love receiving gifts, there's just not enough money for me to buy birthday and Christmas gifts for all my friends and everyone in our family, too. It's less stress this way and I can just focus on decorating and baking if I feel like it.<br /><br />I used to feel overwhelmed when I went in the craft stores but now that I can go in on a weekly basis with coupon in hand- it's a lot easier! ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843916771509614258.post-13173098513019080052013-11-14T05:36:44.172-08:002013-11-14T05:36:44.172-08:00The stimulation overload is real!

So many choices, so many things to do, it makes me anxious too!<br />It used to be so much easier to shop for occasions because people actually wanted and needed things. In this day and age of instant gratification, we buy the things we want/need right away and not much is "special" anymore. <br />Take a deep breath and try not to stress! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176698364443082869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843916771509614258.post-32566628412240130742013-11-13T20:35:10.418-08:002013-11-13T20:35:10.418-08:00Oh- I hear you, Viv.

Have a nice meal,just be together and watch the kids opens their gifts. It's not about the gifts, it's about celebrating Jesus' birthday and what He does every moment for us!

Hopefully I'll get some ideas then. Maybe you will too.

I also have been shopping online the past several years. The deals can be just as good and it's a plus if there is free shipping offered.

Online shopping pretty much took care of all my shopping last year. Have a wonderful Wednesday. I can't wait for the weekend. More Christmas crafting awaits. I think the Christmas decorating will start in my dollhouse too.

Last year I did almost all my shopping online....I am not a crowd lover and it often seems that people who are shopping are just a little too cranky for me...sort of missing the enjoyment of giving.
