Holiday Shopping! It’s here. Hello,
Love lives here
Okay, so the holiday season is upon us.
I know, I know, you think I’m crazy, but I am not. I just love the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays! And I mean I really love these two heartwarming and magical holidays. Christmas and Thanksgiving are like two twins who share warm sentiments from the love that they have for one another.
The things that I love about the holiday season is preparing for the feelings they bring. I have been get my menus ready for the holiday season with Christmas shopping included.
Believe it or not, I started shopping for Christmas in July (2020). I have a little more shopping to do, but nothing major. I bought some things off of Amazon, some things from Eddie Bauer and a few from Macy’s. Most of the gifts that I have purchased are my unborn granddaughter, my two grandsons, and my children. I will be looking around to see what my husband needs and shop accordingly.
Holiday shopping is one of my greatest loves. When shopping I like to think about what my family needs and then I add in a few things that I think they want.
My youngest son is a huge Los Angeles Lakers fan so I know what I am going to get him every single year without fail. Something Laker Nation! I have completed his list which is my list that he knows nothing about. LOLLLLLL
Now, whenever I shop for Christmas, it is a must that I search for sales and bargains! For me, not all sales are bargains. I consider it a bargain when I get something on sale at a great price and amazing quality!
Christmas shopping brings me a great sense of peace and joy because the thought of giving alone makes me smile. I love to give and I look forward to gift wrapping because of the meaning behind the giving, which for me is love.
After I’ve wrapped all of my Christmas gifts, which usually takes half-a-day, I store them away in my bedroom closet for safe keeping until Christmas Eve. I am getting excited thinking about it all.
Holiday Shopping for Christmas Dinner
Last year I received a lovely southern Christmas book from my daughter and I have decided to try a few amazing recipes from the book. I look forward to the three recipes I will be trying. They sound delicious so I am sure they will be.
Have you started your holiday shopping yet? If not, then when do you plan to start? It’s tons of fun getting ready for this magical time of year.
Well, it’s been wonderful reflecting and preparing for the most wonderful time of the year!
I hope you get to enjoy time spent with those closest to you however you define time spent together!
Happy holiday shopping and enjoy whether you’re shopping at the mall or online. For me just being here is the joy that I get to experience everyday because Christmas is everyday!
Love lives here and so do I!
