Christmas in two and a half weeks?  I am just not ready. I know everyone says that, but I don't -this is just NOT like me!  I am a serious Christmas planner.  I've always had to be.  My winter depression usually sets in just before thanksgiving, and anything not already done doesn't get done.  So I begin to buy stocking stuffers on Dec. 26 for the ( Read more... )
