Christmas shopping in November…

Now, for most people shopping for Christmas presents on November 18^th is nothing new but as for me; the queen of Christmas Eve gift buying; I am surprised to say that about half of my Christmas shopping is done. Unfortunately, I can’t show you any of the snazzy presents I bought because the people that read this will be getting them…although…I can show you what I bought for my Grandmother since I don’t believe she has ever ventured onto the Internet before. It made me think of her and my Mom when I saw it.

I should have taken a closer picture of this. The detail is amazing. I'll add some to Flickr later.

Before our shopping began Shanta wanted to buy a flower for the dinning table in their apartment; so we picked this one…

I think it’s an Amaryllis flower…or at least that’s what Shanta thought the fellow said in the shop. I tried comparing it to the picture on my Aunt's book, Forcing Amaryllis but still wasn’t too sure; even Google pics wasn’t too helpful. But we thought it was gorgeous.

After all the shopping my tootsies were angry with me and I was pooped. Marc and Shanta headed off to see an all male version of Swan Lake in their Sunday best…

And I headed home. T’was a fun day. I hope everyone else at home is having some fun days. I’ll see you all soon.
