Nearing christmas
It is coming closer and closer to Christmas and I am feeling the pinch. Most years in the past I have purchased things over the course of a year and then I have a few good things on Christmas to give to the kids.
Sadly in the last few years (5 at least) I have not been able to do so. This year I bought a tapestry quality throw from The Hobbit Shop just so that MidE could have something he loved and he would appreciate its authenticity. Sadly the overpriced thing has snags and is pulling out of the weave. I am really unhappy. I did call the shop and they told me I could pay to send it back so they could send me a new one. I commented that the reports have been flooding in that others are having the same problem, they still want me to pay for shipping and handling of 7 and then to send back another 7. This would mean I would pay a total of 21 over the price because I already paid 7 for shipping to get it.
For BigE, I have no idea what to get him.
LilE I already purchased a leather jacket for him.
As for WahE he wants one of most things so I haven't been able to narrow it down yet.
Other than that I have been getting the house ready to celebrate Christmas.
How is your season going?

You don 't have luck with the gift for MidE. It is defective and the store is not really understanding.
Do not ruin yourself for it .
For us it becomes exagerated since we have 6 children , and 15 grandchildren. My wife has organized a cooperative system!!!:-)

It is nearing indeed. I should probably do some Christmas shopping soon, lol. Gah. Hate shopping.
Elsewise, everything is mostly hunky dory. If I don't get back by Christmas, have a lovely one!
I hope you got a great Christmas, Karen. with the children.
