4 days till Christmas and 3 for the Eve. Unbelievable. I hope everyone has their stuff bought, ect. I spoke with a lady last night at church and she still plans to buy Christmas cards. Wow, I thought 'forget it' to myself at this point.

I looked all over our little area ( Fort Smith, Arkansas - Poteau, Oklahoma )to no avail for an item. I was kindof shocked not to find at least one. Crud, when I called a particular store, the lady actually said "oh, we get alot of calls for those, but we don't carry it". WTF? So we have a demand for it, but no suppliers. Welcome to the logic of my neck of the woods.

So here comes the internet to the rescue, yet again. I had found it online, called the store the following morning, requested it shipped out, and it came in last night. I had to sign for the thing to prove I acquired it. So, last night I rested easy, knowing Kel had another item under the tree. (smile)

Personally, I enjoy acquiring the gifts for the kids and Kel. It's the one time of the year, I actually buy something without feeling guilty. I never had much when I was a kid, and it makes me feel good to be able to provide those things to my family and others. Call it a selfish act on my part ( in some way ).

If I don't get around to blogging again, I wish my fellow bloggers and readers a wonderful Christmas and my joy, blessings follow you to the New Year.

Christmas = Christ should be first.
