• Well, I survived another Black Friday. I L-O-V-E  blitz shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. At least around here, everyone is polite and helpful to each other. There isn't the fighting, and pulling, and shoving like you hear about on T.V. Occassionally there is a little bit of bumping into each other, but mostly everyone is in good spirits, like competitors at a sporting event.

  Nearly all of my Christmas shopping is done in a span of about 4 hours. We had shopped, gone to breakfast, and made it back home by 10:30 a.m. I took a 3-hour nap and watched a movie, "Memoirs of a Geisha" before hubby came back home from work.

  Most of the newly-purchased presents are wrapped. I have a few little gifts to buy for a couple of people, and some bigger gifts for my husband (maybe a recliner this year). I like being this close to finished. Had I been a bit more ambitious, I would have made gifts this year like I did last year, but I certainly haven't had to time for any crafts at all this summer and fall. Maybe next year.

  Tomorrow I will go into the office in the afternoon to start getting caught up on end-of-year bookwork. Sunday after church I'm helping to decorate the church for Christmas. That will be fun. I managed to pick up two beautiful poinsettias today at Target for only $5 each. I always buy a couple in memory of my father and grandmother.
