Or so I thought. What I discovered this year was that the same thing happens online! I was just online for the last 2 hours, only to realise that in fact, I had totted up a fantasy shopping list all based on things I want. Which defeats the whole purpose really.
It has helped splitting the shopping this year. Usually I end up having to think of, source, buy and wrap about 30 presents. It all gets a bit silly and has meant in the past that I have begun to hate Christmas.
But I put my foot down this time. Writing everyone's names on bits of paper and drawing them out of bowl. Half the stress! Wahay! Or so I thought. Now my half has been done, delivered and is awaiting wrapping, I have now started to worry about the other half's other half of presents. It's tricky not to nag, but I can't help worrying. Nothing worse than having to smile sweetly at someone on Christmas morning who has realised that they haven't yet opened anything from you. No point pointing at Himself and mumbling that it was his turn to buy. It doesn't work like that does it?
I am determined to have faith.
Right, having broken my own rule of 'never straying from the path' on the internet, I am going to explore some more ... I'll be back!
