Christmas shopping...

I have the credit card and browsing websites. I want to start finding Christmas presents now so I don't have to worry about it later. Although the girls always manage to come up with a favorite item just days before Christmas. And I'm left paying for express shipping just to get it here in time. Living in a rural town make for interesting shopping, more likely limited shopping. Thank goodness for the Internet and access to stores online.

So far I have ordered books for Christmas. Always need the gift of books for Christmas. Although, I'm probably more interested in the children's books than Sierra will be. I love Splat the Cat. The illustrations are warm and funny. I'm a sucker for children book illustrations. The words are even well written and interesting for a story. Splat is just cute. But I know Sierra will read them so they won't go to waste - hopefully. If she doesn't enjoy them, I will.

I also got a Spiderman comic book for Savannah and the new Wimpy Kid for Celeste. I know Celeste will still want the Wimpy Kid by Christmas because it will complete her series. Hopefully Savannah will still like super heroes until then.

I'm anxious to buy some more toys but I'm not sure what they would want now. Celeste is probably going to get clothes. I don't think Savannah is into Monster High anymore. And I'm not sure which Monster High doll Sierra would want. And what else would they want? Christmas is going to be sad if they don't start giving me hints. I do want to give them these hats with ears and mittens attached I saw at Walmart. They look like they would have fun with them. They could be the gift from Mom and Dad. But what else? This is going to drive me crazy. Maybe I could ask them what they want for Christmas this afternoon to satisfy this urge to shop. Although I need to be cautious about how much of an urge to shop so I don't overspend. I'm not on a hypo so maybe I'll be just fine.
