Early Christmas Shopping

this is the first time ever that i've had most of my shopping done this early. i usually wait until literally the last minute.

i now know why this is the best course of action for me. i want to give the kids their gifts now. i already gave them their meet the robinsons movie. that's it, though. i am making myself behave. it's just that it was a perfect opportunity for family movie night. it really was.

now that i think about it, ken and i have almost never given our gifts to each other on the "right" day. we pretty much give the gift as soon as we've purchased it. occasionally, we come home and wrap it, trying to pretend that we're going to wait. maybe i should put the tree and decorations up right now and just do christmas today??
