Christmas Shopping

In years past I looked forward to Christmas shopping but this year, well it just isn't any fun. I don't know what to buy people and am fresh out of ideas. Buying gifts for my lovely little grandchildren has been a delight. It's the older kids I can't figure out. Thank goodness for Megan. She gave me ideas for her, Evan and Sean.

Now Joy, Bern and Sean are next and if I could just come up with some ideas I would be laughing. I am hoping to locate a model of a ship or a train or something like that for Sean. Bern? I have exhausted any ideas I might have had and Joy, well a sweater, a book and a box of chocolate and she is a happy little clam.

So, now that I see it in writing, I guess my dilemma is not so great but still a problem when I only have a couple hours and just as many stores to look in. Ahhhh the joys of living in a small town, grrrrrrrr. So, it is now to the net I go in the hopes of finding something for Bernard. Wish me luck, this is not the easiest hunt. I always find buying for Bern a challenge and this year is no different. He has taken up candle making as a hobby and of course there isn't a thing here to get him started let alone information on the craft. That leaves me with only one option, the net.

Good luck to all who are Christmas shopping and hard up for ideas. Take comfort in knowing you are not alone.
