omg! is christmas that soon!

christmas shopping is always difficult thing for me. either i get too much or not enough. i procrastinate and then don't have time to get really meaningful things and feel awful. or i buy it way too in advance and then get too excited to keep it in the closet and spring it on the person the first week of decemember.

i doubt i'll be off...but hey the holidays are always dandy! especially don't miss the craft fairs! those are fun!!! furikake mix for chibi-chan, buttermochi, handcrafts, homemade jams and jellies...

what about you? have you started your shopping?

Well, haven't started my shopping yet. However, I am writing a list of people to shop for. Also trying to get ideas on what to buy them. It's really hard to find things as a gift when someone already has everything and the one thing they dont have is something u can never get for them. sometimes i think of christmas as a gift exchanging/returning holiday. u give gifts to someone, then wonder if they have returned it because u gave them the receipt. and its a known fact that people exchange/return things the day after christmas. do u get mad at the person for returning something? i personally dont really get mad, might feel that i didnt really know the person too well or well enough

sweetiedream you asked the right person about holiday craft fairs!!! my mom goes nuts for them every year and so naturally this year she's been scanning the newspapers for the annual craft fair list... here's the link to the honolulu advertiser's 2004 list:

we're going to go to the Season's Best Kaimuki Craft and Gift Fair on Nov. 6 from 9-2:30 pm at Ali'iolani Elementary School. That is supposedly the biggest and best craft fair (so popular they do it again on Nov. 20 and Dec. 4th). i'm not sure what else mom wants to go to...yet!

hope you can get a lot of christmas shopping done!

Christmas already?!! Yeah, I think most people get Christmas and New Year's Eve off in oberservance of the holidays. It's one of the few holidays I have off for the rest of the year. I would be looking forward to winter break if only I was still in school.
