Are You A Gift Giver?
It’s stressful enough to have the holiday meals on our back and to add gift giving to the equation, is just too much. Once comes Thanksgiving, Christmas is chasing it…
DUMFRIES, SCOTLAND – NOVEMBER 29: Workers at Glaisters Farm near Dumfries harvest this year’s crop of Christmas trees as they prepare for the festive season on November 29, 2016 in Dumfries, Scotland. With Christmas fast approaching, thousands of British grown trees will be sold across the country with 80% of the trees being the Nordman FIR and around 10-15% Norway Spruce, and the remainder are lesser known varieties.

Once comes Thanksgiving, Christmas is chasing it as if it was the same holiday. I'm pretty much a scrooge when it comes to Christmas, I just want to be left alone to eat, party, rinse and repeat. But if you're the gift-buying type this is what I used to do.
Start early, start now! Don't procrastinate anymore because before you know it December 25th will be here and you might have to grab some gas station gifts. Try to avoid crowded malls, not unless that's your thing. Begin by making a list of everyone you need to buy for and then start shopping online. I bet you have an Auntie who shops the sales the dat after Christmas in preparation for the year ahead, that's cool if that's your method. Then, there are the folks that live for Black-Friday deals, and that can be fun if you have a crew shopping with you. I just happen to be an Amazon girl because let's be honest, it's cheaper than department stores and way less stressful. Get that shopping done early so you can relax or choose to party up a storm and wake the neighbors.
