You might think I am overcome with sadness because the time has come to shop for Christmas presents. Quite the opposite. I am upset because I have completed my Christmas shopping. I feel no shame when admitting that creating a budget based on my bank account and finding amazing Christmas presents within that budget brings me immense joy. My biggest problem is maintaining a poker face until Christmas day, the day when I can hand out the gifts and enjoy the appreciative response. There are many things I love about Christmas time, and Christmas shopping is definitely at the top of the list. Do you enjoy Christmas shopping?

I hope you are enjoying the Christmas countdown. Do not tune out just yet. I will be posting personal Christmas facts starting December 1st. What does that mean? By December 25th, you will know my favorite holiday movie, food, dessert, song, etc. Do not let me have all the fun; feel free to respond with your favorite [fill in the blank].

That is all for now. Happy holidays!!!
