And I hate crowded malls even more. *shiver*<br /><br />I also love decorating the tree! I always have to go behind my kids and re-arrange too! I'm a little of a control freak that way!

I admait I do a lot of my shopping on-line these days, although I also visit our local horse sancatuary and buy as many as I can from their lovely gift shop.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-467296852518035096.post-83653722801250548382011-12-04T07:42:14.327-05:002011-12-04T07:42:14.327-05:00Sky - Thanks about the trailer.

I think she did a fantastic job.<br /><br />Laura - Yes, there are some years where decorating is a chore. Usually my husband starts the ball rolling for Christmas. But then there are times I wonder if he isn't a big ole kid himself. :)<br /><br />Marybelle - I think the only way I could live Christmas all year long would be if we had snow. It's just not Christmas without white flaky stuff.Beth Caudillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822034586213938181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-467296852518035096.post-22761152076626778702011-12-04T06:48:44.071-05:002011-12-04T06:48:44.071-05:00I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

Of course, I still have to negotiate the first hurdle...decorating. lolLaura Browninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257184550737010323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-467296852518035096.post-72863565402304362032011-12-04T04:57:45.819-05:002011-12-04T04:57:45.819-05:00I tried to stick my head in earlier and comment wh...I tried to stick my head in earlier and comment which makes me wonder if we're not experiencing glitch's in the system here at A Writer's Mind. :-(<br /><br />Beth, I LOVE your book trailer!

And had lots of friends to gossip with me as we make snarky comments in all the stores. :)Beth Caudillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822034586213938181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-467296852518035096.post-37402132223447797382011-12-03T15:03:34.316-05:002011-12-03T15:03:34.316-05:00Great post, Beth!

I can't buy clothes for my kids so I just give GCs.
