christmas bitch revisited....

ok, have you noticed ? it is that time again.hohoho.hahaha.merry.merry.yikes!

this year is especially fun, right? with everybody wigged out about their finances. it is such fun to xmas shop when you lost your job the week before...now, i will say that the downward spiralling freak show of our economy is making for some bad-ass sales. have you looked on line? everything is on sale. everything. i was so inspired , i put our retail stuff on sale....i mean , who wants to be left out?

i don't know about you , but i am finding myself sort of paralized this year...not really freaked out, just frozen. i think i am in xmas denial. i have done some shopping(on line/on sale) but not alot...and i am not all that panicked for some reason.

i just kind of feel like, oh well, it will get done.

have i bought my in-laws anything yet?? nooooo.

have i sent, or even half-way thought about a xmas card? nooooo.

are the xmas lights up??nooooo.(but that is billy's fault)

have i figured out what to give the neighbors and all the friends that we usually exchange gifts with? noooo.

have i bought my godchild, niece, nephew, brothe, mother, or even billy their presents yet? noooo, again.

i did, actually, make a gingerbread house with my kids this year..AND it was a success! but, guess what? big girl ate it.

now, normally just thinking about all these things would make me hyperventilate...after all, their are like 7 days left...but, you know what? i am not all that worried about it..and, i think that might be healthy...(or it might mean i am in a deep, dark depression and am too stupid to know it)

i am pretty sure i am not being quite as much of a christmas bitch around home, and that might just be a better present for my family that whatever i might buy on-line/on sale this year.

and , you know what i think i might do for all those people i haven't bought presents for?? i think i am going to make a donation in their name to this school on haiti that our church built. i am sure charities are having a horrible time this year. and wouldn't that be easy?....one phone call and a credit card number and they will do the rest. AND i bet they will like that just as well as anything i would buy(on sale)
