Crime Girl - I have to see them all around christmas, so I can't just send a card. Infact, on Christmas Day we have to see so many people
I get to wake up in my own bed, go to the bf's parents house, where his brother and his two kids will be, and then we are having dinner with the bf's aunt, 2 cousin's, and their significant others. And on the 26th, we both work, then head to Seattle to do christmas with MY family, and my brother, his gf, my mom, her bf, and my aunt and grandma will all be there. The only way to avoid seeing everyone is to say I can't get away for christmas, but last year my mom and brother came to stay with me, only my place is too small, so they got a hotel (where I stayed too), and that was about 1,500! I love love love christmas though, and since I *still* get spoiled rotten, how could I not?
As for the actual shopping ( I love shopping, I find everything on sale ) I always figure out what I want to buy for people, and THEN head out. And if you start early, you can get to all the good November sales, Pier 1 just had a HUGE one! Anyways, I'm babbling, but if you seriously do need help figuring out what to get people, let me know.. I might be able to help you
