I opened the closet.....

Oh, not THAT closet. I don't have skeletons in the closet anymore. There's a bit of dust, perhaps--but no skeletons. I learned a whole LOT about the power of skeletons in the closet--pass!!

But I did open the closet........the one in the guestroom that's suppose to hold 'off season' clothing. Ummmm...if I didn't open the closet--it wouldn't have held squat! LOL
It WAS scary opening the closet. For the past few months I've been pulling the door slightly open--and tossing. LOL
Hey--it worked! There were only a few times I had to repeat the action before shoving the door closed.
Things fell out. *shrugs*

Yesterday, I pulled the door open and stood back.....and watched the mounds (literally) of sacks tumble onto the carpet.
The Brit shook his head and exited the room. LOL
I, on the other hand, was elated to go through the bags one by one to discover treasures!

An hour later he tip-toed amidst the rubble...errr... piles of treasures... to bring me coffee, and promptly left--again shaking his head. LOL

Okay--so you can't see the top of the bed.
And the floor's an utter disaster.
And there's stuff all OVER the place!

But I'm done holiday shopping......'cept for a few bitty odds and ends.
And that's without ever entering a store to DO holiday shopping!!

*polishing nails and feeling smug*
AND the closet is empty.
Well....for the most part......
'Cept for those boxes that are holding birthday prezzies.
And a few random 'cool things' that I'm holding onto cuz I have WAY too much stuff to be wrapping up to give away......

LOL Which just means I have a start on next years holiday shopping already.
Small wonder he shakes his head, huh?

DONE!!!
I haven't even started!!!
I feel like I'm becoming Scrooge of Christmas! :"(
I don't mean to, but it is beyond difficult to buy for 5 kids! It seems to get harder every year! As it closes in..... so does the dread. Knowing you can't get them what they want, and then I feel they are disappointed after opening them anyhow! oh, woe is me, woe is me!
I just put on a happy face and act like everything is normal, but inside, it totally kills me. I'm thinking of moving Christmas gifts to New Yrs Eve!
Hmmmmmmmmmm...... It would work 4 me.
: )
