Gift Season Coming Up

Christmas is fast approaching so it’s time to think about what to do for the family gift wise.  Quite a few options for this.  We can just get them something random or funny, or we can get them personalized gifts which might be pretty cool since it would be all about them.  Or in the past we have done just stocking stuffers to keep the costs down.

I know my wife and i usually just buy something together.  We have done this the last couple of years and seems to work out pretty well.  I think this year she wants to do something with the house.  I think it’s the perfect time to get a Wii.

Probably will not do anything with the extended family this year since we are flying up to Seattle to see my family and I think that’s the best gift ever.  Actually we haven’t been back to Seattle for Thanksgiving or Christmas the last two years.  I think the last time was 2005.  It has been way to expensive.  Like this year it was $1200 for 2 of us to fly over Christmas.  Ouch is right..!!!  Although my nice Aunt and Uncle gave us tickets for Christmas so that was our gift and we very much appreciate it.

Time is Flying, It’s almost Christmas…

I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by.  It seems like yesterday was the spring storm season and now we are about to change our clocks back and get ready for Thanksgiving.  The last two months always seem to just fly by.  Work is usually busy and schedules get filled up pretty quick on the home front.

One thing I really can’t stand however is how early they start the Christmas displays and ad’s.  This year most stores I went into had Christmas decorations up by October 15th.  I’m sorry but I do believe this is way to early.

At least I have seen some of the major gifts being advertised yet, like gaming systems, dollhouses and most major electronics.  I’m sure the ad’s will start appearing soon since Halloween is tomorrow.

Happy Halloween…!!!
