Are you ready for Christmas?

I've been shopping and wrapping, shopping and wrapping and I'm happy to say it's all done now!

So what about you? Are you a last minute shopper. Do you fight the crowds and traffic or do you plan ahead?

Some of my friends buy Christmas presents all during the year, so come December, they have all the gifts ready. I'm not that good and I only like to shop when I know what I'm looking for. Are you like that too? Or do you like to wander and browse?

I get many of my gifts online these days too. The best thing is when there's Free Shipping and No Tax. Usually the gifts arrive at my door in a week's time. It's fingertip shopping at its best!

We've made charitable donations and hopefully many around the world can enjoy the holiday without too much sacrifice. Our favorite charities are Operation Gratitude, Make a Wish Foundation, The American Cancer Society and local food banks. One Christmas we vow to have a Gift-Free holiday and use that extra to contribute even more.
