Shopping Yet?

Watching all the news on TV is just depressing. The economic down turn is terrible , but to broadcast about it constantly is like a self fulfilling prophecy that won't go away. So now I have to turn to Christmas shopping.

Have you done your Christmas shopping yet? I have a wonderful friend, that has wrapped 101 gifts already. She is pretty awesome. 101 sounds like allot but with kids, grand kids, and kids it all adds up. I on the other hand have bought only for Claire. She I have found is the easiest and least expensive to buy for .{another surprise bonus to having a girl.}
On to the boys, what could they want? Only the biggest Lego sets ever. Blake tells me," It doesn't matter how much they cost, Santa can make them." Doesn't Blake know Santa has been hit hard too and had to lay off 25% of his Elf force. The problem is everywhere.

We have never gone way overboard on Christmas, yet this year we are tightening our reigns. Any tips for this hate to shop shopper?
