Bragging

I've been up since 5am this morning (after falling asleep for the night at 4am - no lie - but that's a whole different sonnet) and I'm a little blurried eyed, but I'm going to post. And in this post I'm going to brag.
For the first time in my life, I am officially done Christmas shopping before Christmas Eve. Yes. You heard me. I am done. And it's not even December yet. And we're talking EVERYTHING. I have presents, stocking stuffers, Christmas Eve jammies, neighbor gifts, kids' friends gifts and even my Christmas Cards. (They shipped last week so I expect them any day now.) I would like to mail my cards out but decided it would be way neurotic so I am waiting till December 1st. At which point I will post one here, just to show off some more. Know what else? I even have my Christmas lights up. And on my way home from work tonight, I noticed you could see my house from Main Street, which is 8 blocks away. Hubby asked me please to wait at least till after Thanksgiving to turn them on but I can't help myself. I even thought I'd post a picture of them here tonight but couldn't because they keep shorting out. I think I have too many extension cords hooked into too many extension cords...
Anyway...Merry Christmas everyone!
Oh yeah...and Happy Thanksgiving, too.

Good for you! I almost have all mine done. I didn't even start till last week, but have got a lot done! I ordered some stuff through ABC, so hopefully that comes. Doesn't it feel so good to be done this early. I LOVE IT! It makes Dec. so much easier and funner.

I am so jealous! I have nothing and I mean nothing done yet!

Um, are you sure we are not twins separated at birth? I am SO like you.

Stie-
you realize by admitting this you are labeling yourself a tad neurotic with a pinch of "I'm so cool this year". Love it!

I haven't even started yet. This is on purpose. If I get too much too early I end up giving presents early. It's a sickness.

That said, I LOVE Black Friday. Mostly because it makes my laugh and it's a tradition between a friend and I.

Congrats on your organizedness. Here's hoping my early gift giving problem doesn't rub off on you! :)
