Christmas time

You know, it doesn't really feel like Christmas time, I am not sure why, everything in my life has been SO busy, I am constantly sewing, I am nearly done with my Aunts apron. I already gave the Mommy and Me aprons to my aunt and cousin. They turned out really cute but I forgot to take pictures... lame. Oh well. I already ran out of business cards! 80 all gone, that's amazing to me! I have to get some more. I am really starting to get my name out there and I think that is really cool! It's now just a matter if after Christmas people are still going to want to buy stuff. Cause around Christmas time, people want lots. But it is really helping. All those Dr. bills are really mean and add up so fast! Every time I get one it's like a slap in the face. Fortunately we should only get one more and then be done. Thank goodness! So selling is really helping us financially especially when we have to spend so much money on other people! Besides our bills.

I really don't know how some people do it. How can people rationalize spending over $1000 on Christmas presents? I know a couple that spend that much money every Christmas and there are only 3 in their immediate family. But each sibling, parent and grandparent they spend $100 at least per person. That's just crazy! Especially because they are struggling financially. That just doesn't make sense at all in my mind. If you don't have money, can't you just say, we don't have money and not spend crazy amounts on people? It's weird to me, something about Christmas makes people do stupid things. I guess I was never raised that way. It wasn't about the presents. I mean $100 gosh, that's a lot of money to me!

We decorated our tree yesterday! :) It looks so pretty, it is an artificial tree that I got at a rummage sale for $5 last year! I'm a good shopper! :) It's a little bent, but who cares! Five Bucks! So, it's all decorated and pretty, I'm going to wrap presents tonight and I think that will help me feel Christmas-y. Even Christmas music doesn't make me feel festive this year. It's weird. Though I am excited about what I am getting. It's practical stuff, but things change as you get older. I don't want a doll, I want an ironing board! :) Ha ha, it's funny to me how all of a sudden I'm an adult and desire adult things. I'm OK with it though!

I'm happy.
