I suppose it is time for me to start my Christmas list for this year. With the economy going the way it is with tariffs and such, who knows what will be available in the next 6 months. But this year, it will be much more calculated shopping than in years past. Not to say that I did not put thought into Christmas gifts in the past, that is HARDLY the case. I love to shop for gifts for other people. But this year, it is going to be much more deliberate. No impulse buying. For one, it's probably not going to be in my budget to impulse shop. Having to pay more for goods from overseas will put a stop to that. I have also cancelled my Amazon Prime account so I would definitely be paying out for anything I bought on there. By the way, not having that really has helped my impulse buying. Whew!
I will start my list here soon. I will shop as locally as possible, that is for sure. And I will do my best to make this Christmas as happy a one as I can for the people that I love. Birthdays too! I need to check my birthday book and see who's going to need a gift soon. I love buying gifts for other people and I am hell bent and determined not to let what is going on in our country squash that feeling of joy that I get. Gift giving is as much about me as it is about others in my book. And I never expect anything in return for it. We shall see.
