Too much Christmas!

Behold, Anna surrounded by Christmas crap . . I mean, presents from last year. You know those people that contribute to the over-commercialism of the Christmas season? I'm sad to admit I'm one of them. Too many gifts, too many toys, too much crap! Observe my Christmas list for this year (I keep it in a Word document, aren't I techno-savvy?!)

That's 42 people, if I counted right. I really don't include many extras, just my family (which unfortunately consists of many children), godparents of my children, a few friends, a few of the girls friends, teachers, . . okay well maybe I lied about the extras. Anyway, that's just the way it is. I don't want to leave anyone out, right? Right. And I can't lie, I love to receive gifts just as much (if not more ;^) than I like to give them. Mentally, I never made it past age 7. Sometimes I order the girls things . . um, I mean Santa does, that I want to play with. Who cares if they'll enjoy it?
So, the malls love me, the credit card companies love me, but my checking account is not pretty.

Yeah, my name's not on the list either!!! ;)

WOW! That is one heck of a list! I just started stressing out about my list this past weekend and it consists of only about 15 people...I'd probably have a stress anxiety attack if I had list like yours!!

I love your list! My name's on it! Hehehehehe....I have my list on a piece of paper that is laying on my desk. I carry it everywhere with me. Some if it hasn't even been ordered or purchased yet. I need to get on the stick here!

Egads! that list is LONG!
I'd have let the guy go in front of me in line, too. But, then, I'm a pushover, too.
