Done any Christmas shopping yet?

What did you get? For who?

I’m baking macarons now. Then I’m moving on to chocolate truffles and marshmallow and chocolate fudge. I just need to buy some boxes and a cooler. And I need to figure out what to give to my boyfriend.

I bought one gift each to my closest family, that’s all I’m doing for money reasons. I bought my husband a hat, my son a beard trimmer, my daughter some expensive makeup, my son-in-law a shaver and my granddaughter a baby piano for her first Christmas. Oh and for my beautiful sister a really pretty little mirror compact even though I won’t get to see her for the holidays, I’ll mail it to her.

Then I’ll send out Christmas cards to everyone else and I make awesome toffee so if I get the energy I might make some of that for our friends and extended family for if they stop by. I just want a simple easy Christmas without going into massive debt, I get sick of that nonsense, it shouldn’t be like that.

I got some things. I always get Pepperidge Farm sausage and cheese and cracker sets for family. And candy for my great uncle he has a sweet tooth. I got some pralines and chickory coffee from New Orleans for my parents.

I got my mother in law an assortment of teas and some Beautiful perfume. I got my father in law 3 Navy shirts.

I got my nephews some sunglasses that were advertised on tv and some sweatshirts. I got my niece some pjs and a thing to use your cell phone to navigate in your car.

I got the little nieces kits to make gingerbread houses and for my youngest nephew I still have to find a toy or two. That or an iTunes gift card. He likes his iPad.

That’s all the shopping I am doing. My wife ordered a whole bunch of stuff online for us.

I actually haven’t done any shopping yet. Going this weekend because I get paid tomorrow.

Only thing I know I’m getting is a hot sauce I saw in the store today that says, “Ass Whoopin’” hot sauce for my uncle. He likes hot sauce and I figured it’d suit his sense of humor!

I got my gifts for family and a friend, spent about $40 on each, $20 on the friend. Still have to buy something for sister, thinking I’ll just give her money.

Also got an air fryer for low/zero oil fried food, for parathas my mom makes frequently. Hopefully they can be made with the air fryer without using 2 tablespoons of margarine each (!), that flares up me and my dad’s arthritis.

Got a VR headset, a book, an SSD and an Arduino kit for myself. Kind of wishing I’d have spent more on others though, but they aren’t dropping any hints of what they want.

I bought my brother some muffin tins from Ebay. I suppose we’ll make cookies and little pecan pies called by my mother Pecan Tassies. I have 2 cookie presses I want to try out. I made a friend a calendar of her cats. Also from the library sale I bought my brother a book of flower paintings by Georgia O Keefe. Christmas always brings out the elf in me.
