Christmas Is Just Around The Corner

Dear Shell,

How did it get to be almost Christmas already? I swear it seems like we just had people over for Thanksgiving last week. Next thing you know, it will be 2009. We don't even have our tree up yet, although we really don't have room for it anymore. The only place would be near the furnace and I really don't feel comfortable with it being that close.

I have not started Christmas shopping yet, except for a small item I found a couple weeks ago that I thought my mom would like. I at least need to get two $10 gifts before Saturday, since we have a family party on Saturday where we do a gift exchange game (its the only gifts we exchange at that party). Maybe J and I will go shopping for gifts for everyone else after the party. I should check with Jenn to see if her and I are exchanging gifts this year or not.

J and I decided that for each other, rather than get gifts, we'll set money aside so we can take a nice week-long trip somewhere in the spring or maybe summer. We're not sure where we will go just yet, but it'll be somewhere where we can just relax, enjoy the scenery, and have fun. I couldn't think of anything I wanted or needed when he asked, so this sounded like a really good idea for us.

There's only one thing that I could think of that I'd like to get, and it's not an item I would ask for for Christmas since it is pretty expensive.

Well I need to get back to writing on my novel instead of my blog. My main characters have just neared the fortress where the evil sorceress is waiting for them. They have an ally on the inside...or do they?
