{Christmas Shopping}

I must say that I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas shopping. I love finding untold treasures for my sisters and mother but then I hate the whole commercialness of it. It takes the whole joy of finding that one very particular treasure for your loved one into a grinding chore. Because it is always that quick and hurry and get it done fast, and you better get what all their dreams are about or you are a big loser kind of thing. I just hate it. This year especially they started playing Christmas music two weeks before Thanksgiving! Can you believe that?! Yeah. It takes the joy right out of the season. Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me. Don't get me wrong! I totally love Christmas! Just wondering!
