Recieved first Christmas card the other day, from my mother. Addressed only to me - an ccident, since she does like my husband. But he has been teasing my ever since. I haven't even bought cards yet, let alone sent them out. BUt I do have a good start on my shopping. A mall in Columbus had a special benefit the last week for non profit organizations. My neice and nephew school was part. YOu baought a ticket, and got into the mall for three hours after closing with every store at least ten percent off, and some quite a but more than that. So I am well over half done shopping, and had a lot of fun. Usually I just look around malls and get tired and grumpy. This time a bought so much stuff my husband had to make two trips to the car to carry it out - but hey, a small price to pay for having a large and loving family to buy for.
