My mother fell Sunday morning and cracked her elbow. We didn't knwo what was going on when we arrived at her house at first. So we decided to go on and eat but left them a note on the door where we were. Now my mother has a cell phone but she never takes it with her except when she goes to the doctor in Dallas. My aunt said she takes it but doesn't turn it on sigh. Anyway my husband and I took them to lunch. On the way home we grabbed a guy gift and girl gift for his family's Chinese Christmas. I'll be working so I will miss all the fun and food. We've always been last minute shoppers.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983209367295987926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-40901005843996299902009-12-22T15:28:39.217-05:002009-12-22T15:28:39.217-05:00Almost all my Christmas presents came via Amazon t...Almost all my Christmas presents came via Amazon this year. Some of them I've had since March; others just arrived yesterday. I love online shopping. I did pick up some items in the mall for my husband (his fave flannel shirts) and a few things +from the local Hastings store. I also go to the big craft shows our town has in Oct. and Nov. so picked up some cool earrings for my daughters.<br />Happy Holidays everyone!Jodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-49345806595267395342009-12-22T09:21:00.789-05:002009-12-22T09:21:00.789-05:00I shop locally.

My parents get gift cards because that's what they like. And Santa still comes to our house, fortunately, so that means we don't have to shop for everyone. :-) Great post, Rhonda. I hear you, sister.

It's an hour's drive to the closest one, and it's in a mall.<br /><br />I also ordered some special sweet treats that I can't find anywhere near here, from an online supplier. I don't mind shopping at "real stores" when they're available and not full of people with the crazed shopping glare in their eyes, but in this case, it was so much easier to shop online.Rev.

Did buy two son-in-<br />laws gift certificates to their favorite restaurants, and one movie tickets. Everyone else is getting money. Not too imaginative, but when you have 4 kids, 18 grandkids and 11 great-grands, it is much easier.Marilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.
