I'm just one day late for THIS OR THAT TUESDAY ....
1. Go out and buy gifts, or shop online/mail order?
Both; However, I find that I'm doing more and more online shopping -- you can't beat no tax and free shipping deals!
2. Gift cards/certificates or pick out gifts?
Pick out gifts
3. Pay cash or charge holiday gifts?
Charge almost everything - I like having a record of everything.
4. Are most of your gifts mailed or given in person?
All are given in person (except gifts to Steve's family in England)
5. Are you an early-bird or last-minute holiday shopper?
Early-bird for the most part ... I don't think I've ever waited til Christmas Eve to buy presents. Too stressful!
6. If you shop in stores...big chain stores or smaller specialty stores?
Both ... I love small specialty stores though - I like giving unique things!
7. Wrap gifts yourself or have them wrapped at the store or mall?
Wrap them myself ... that's one of my favorite parts of gift giving.
8. Shopping on *Black Friday* (day after Thanksgiving)...did you or didn't you?
Ick. No. I'd rather spend a few more dollars on a present and not deal with all the crowds!
9. Is your holiday gift list large or small?
Large ... I have a big family!
10. Is it better to give or to receive?
Giving is so much fun! I love giving people things I know they will like ... and enjoy watching them unwrap the present and seeing a smile or surprised look!
Don't believe I ever commented or tagged to tell you how much I enjoyed the last layout (the computer one- very unique!) but wanted to let you know that I'm loving this one as well. The little girl in the splash is adorable, and I love the holiday themes and colors. Fabulous job! :) Mmm, and a bit belated but hope you had a great anniversary. Your wedding pictures are lovely. :)
Beautiful new layout, Lacy, very festive and fun. Hoep all is going well with you and I suppose this is enough procrastination for me, paper writing I must go. Hope you have a great day!
LOVE the new layout. Man, it has been a while. I am happy to say, though, that I am now off of hiatus! Yay! A new layout inspired me to get back into the blogging mood. Hope you have a great day!
the new layout is gorgeous!!
How much shopping have you done so far? I haven't done any. None. Not one gift. I haven't even seen any Christmas lists. I think I'll hop on Amazon today and try to knock out a few.
Last weekend I knocked out most of the presents .... but the ones I have left are the hardest: My mother and my grandfather. They are the hardest people to shop for!
Love amazon. I ordered LOTS of presents from amazon this year .... their super saver free shipping rocks ... everything I've ordered using that has come in less than THREE days! Not bad! Woohoo!
Thanks to everybody for your nice comments about the holiday layout :) I'm trying to work up a new one for January so I don't have to go back to my old XP layout -- but I haven't come up with anything I like as much as the XP layout :) We'll see!!!!
