I'm Done!!!

Today I have officially finished my Christmas shopping! This has to be the earliest I've gotten it done. Now I feel so free, I absolutely HATE rushing to get someone a present.

We've begun to decorate around here. Actually it's been Emily and Anna mostly.

Stockings...

Our Nativity is made out of ceramics and my mom's friend hand-painted them all. Mom did the purple wiseman. It's amazing that it's lasted for all of these years, but I love it.

All of the Christmas tins.

In the words of Gandalf the Grey, "And so it begins." :D
