christmas shopping

Getting ready for the holidays can take up so much time that we forget to have a little fun. Well, have no fear - there are lots of fun events (big and small) happening this week in the Gallatin Valley. Grab some friends and enjoy the season.

This is something my siblings and I have instituted recently and it's been pretty nice.

According to a new study, more than one-third of Americans are already done with their Christmas shopping.a sign to retailers that they'll need to offer bigger discounts to get sales in the nearly three weeks left until Christmas. About 32 percent said they finished most of their shopping in November, including Black Friday weekend, while more than six percent were done in the first weekend

The bad thing about starting your Christmas shopping early, is that you tend to buy way too much.  I have A LOT of people to buy for...and i do it happily,  trying to find each person the perfect gift.  My main focus though is on the kids...
