Christmas won't be Christmas....

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled poor Jo lying on the rug. I remember reading Little Women one million times when I was 12, and that was the very first line of this classic story. I couldn't agree with Jo more. Christmas really won't be Christmas without any presents, which accounts for December being my most stressful month, I honestly wish I could strike it out from my calendar. It isn't the money, really, since you can actually find real cool stuff for only Pxx.50 now. (Found some super cute pot holders shaped like huge fish..where you insert your hand in the belly and your fingers into the head..and the mouth actually moves, so you can use it as hand puppet at the same time.) Pxx.50!!! Am giving it to sooooooooooooooo many people. In fact, I better erase the price now and just put xx's instead, in case they get to read this and think I'm a cheapskate. Another steal was this "mini spa" which, again, I got only for Pxx.75. I bought the entire mound of mini spas stacked one on top of the other in the aisle in Robinson's. It consists of a cute painted ceramic burner, 2 votive candles, and 2 tiny bottles of oil, in cute packaging. with ribbon pa, so you don't need to wrap the box. What a steal! I dread to think what the oil smells like...

So.. As i was saying, it isn't so much the money, but the TIME and ENERGY spent in looking for these 'steals' (because I don't have enough money).

Please don't ask me to explain.
