Time for Christmas?

This morning I have heard many references and songs being sung about Christmas around my house.  I guess it being October has the natives restless for December to get here!  My son just walked over and asked me if I am excited, I asked for what and he says...For Christmas!  Of course, how could I not be.  There's talk of skipping Halloween and going straight to Christmas.  They are getting a bit ahead of themselves here I'm thinking.  Come to think of it though, I have no idea what to get them this year.  Every year that goes by seems to get a little harder.  It was so simple when they were little and a small toy would be the best thing ever.  In fact last year my 4 year old nephew said it best after he opened a gift of race cars...."It's what I've always dreamed of!"  The best response I have heard about a gift in a long time.  We don't hear things like that anymore.  I have usually started shopping and have a really good idea of what I will get by now.  I guess I have been a little distracted lately!  I can't beat myself up to much over it, after all I have purchased 2 gifts, one for each of the girls.  Need to do some brain storming! 

I guess I had better get myself to the store and pick up the goodies we need for our trip to the cabin in the mountains.  The weather is supposed to be cold at night and cool during the day, I am so looking forward to that. 

Hope you all have a great, wonderful, relaxing weekend.
