My wife is a lot more organised than I am generally, she has started but I am more of a slow burner. Things are so expensive. I wish people had lower expectations and that there wasn't so much pressure to spend so much. I think I'll have to be pretty cautious with my gift spending this year. I'd rather give out Christmas spirit than presents!

The only things I have done to prepare for Christmas is buy pine-scented Febreze plugins and I bought a handmade nativity set. I haven't bought any Christmas gifts yet. It sounds like you're ahead a bit!
Your wife will like that you bought those ornaments for her!
I am not the most inspired shopper and I am always very pressured by high expectations (some of which might be imagined)
Christmas is a difficult holiday for me to truly enjoy because I tend to focus on the money. I wish it was more about kindness and the impulse to give from the heart.
Tara: Well, the scent of pine is very seasonal. I like nativity ornaments, something about them that's cute. I haven't bought anything else since my post and I feel a bit behind now!
LB: I hear you! What's generally a very nice time of year has this ugly side, remember the Cabbage Patch Dolls scrambles???
