When do you stop buying Christmas presents?? LOL

I know the title says when do you stop, but I think I am almost done!!  *WHEW*  I am seriously done most years before Thanksgiving arrives because I hate the holiday rush and hustle and bustle at the stores!!!

Our little one, Noah, is now 19 months old (our only child), and I am having a hard time STOPPING on his presents. LOL  I tried to adopt the three gift tradition (as the wise men did for baby Jesus so long ago), but I failed! LOL   We are doing well financially right now and I want to spoil my child without SPOILING him, if you know what I mean.  LOL  I am also excited for the fact that this year he will know a little bit more about the presents and opening them, and I can't wait to see the smiling face when he sees his presents!!!

This is what we have gotten him (and I am done!LOL):

Little Tykes kitchen (it talks to you....who would have thought of that except LIttle Tykes?? LOL)

2 puzzles

1 teddy bear that sings Patty Cakes to you and moves his arms with the song

2 musical instruments for little kids : My First Drum, and a mini keyboard ($10 at Dollar General)

I think that is it for now.  Hubby has asked for mostly DVD's and computer games.  I found out that Overstock.com is offering free shipping, so I ordered several of the things last night on his wish list at some great prices (much lower than store prices), and paid no shipping on them.  YIPEEEE!!!

I have also done a little shopping for myself.  LOL  I found a black hills gold angel necklace at a store the day after Thanksgiving for 70% off and bought it for myself.  I told the lady checking me out that hubby didn't know it, but he just bought me part of my Christmas! LOL  When I got home and showed him the necklace (pricetag still attached), he kinda looked at me sternly.  Then I told him it was 70% off that price and he smiled. LOL  I did this on purpose of course.  So I have picked out part of my own presents.  That way I know I will like what I am getting.  I have never been a good one for suprises...they drive me crazy! LOL 

I am still working on my Christmas Craftiness goals and have made several things for others and I am having a blast using my brand new sewing machine.  I sold two last summer at my garage sale, thinking I haven't used them in the past 5 years and probably never will.  Then I got the bug to sew again, and found a brand new one here at a local store ON SALE!!!  So hubby said go for it, and I have been having so much fun with it!!!  LOL

That's all for now.  Time to sign off and get caught up on the housecleaning, etc. that got left behind on the long holiday weekend. 

God Bless,

Amy Jo

So how did the cleaning go??
