I’m done!

I have finished my Christmas shopping!  And it’s not even December.

This is the absolute earliest I have ever been finished.

Clearly, there is some child that has been left off the list.  An inadvertently missed niece or nephew lurking in the background.  It is hard to believe that I don’t have to go to the mall again.

However, I’m going to try to believe that my lists are accurate and that everything that needs delivering will arrive in time to be wrapped, appropriately-sized boxes will appear, rolls of wrapping paper will hold out until all items are attractively covered and the re-shipping will proceed apace.

I have plans to sail through this year with time to enjoy holiday movies and my own Boat Parade party and maybe baking some cookies (and maybe not, because I have a tendency to eat them if I bake them).

I don’t know why it seemed somewhat easier this year, but I am devoutly thankful.
