It's that time again

Time to start thinking about Christmas and presents. Each year I try to get all the gifts bought early so I don't have to run around at the last minute. Each year I come pretty close to accomplishing this but usually end up with one or two last minute things I need. However, this year I am going to really try and have everything done at least 2 weeks before Christmas so I can relax and enjoy some family time. I am also going to try and make some of the gifts this year. I've got some great ideas and while I do believe I have the ability I just need to find the energy/time/ambition to get them done in time. My track record isn't so great as I still haven't finished the blanket I started for my dad about 5 years ago. I think that I am starting early enough though that I can do it this year.
