I'm having a hard time thinking about getting ready for Christmas...it's not that I don't like Christmas--I think it's more my lack of ideas and ability to shop for that "oh, so perfect!" gift I want to find everybody. But, time is running out--especially for Justin's side of the family (we're having Christmas in Ohio in less than two weeks!), whoops! So, I've been trying to figure out what I can make in a crunch (time-wise) this year. Up until two years ago, I always made at least part of our Christmas presents. It all started as a way to get through Christmas one year as we had no money--I think I made all of our gifts for like $12 that year. I'm not trying to be cheap this year (really)...it's just "What do you get for your loved ones who have everything they could need?" So, I'm still brainstorming, coming up with a few good ones, I think.

What do I want this year? Nothing big. Health for my family, time with my family and friends...I don't need anything money can buy. I've already been given the Greatest Gift of All.
