I got part of my Christmas shopping done today and already got both of my sister's birthday gifts. I got their Christmas gifts as well. The way I see it, I can either cry at Christmas time or cry now. Since I actually have a job now, I choose to get my crying out of the way. That way when Christmas rolls around, I can first be like "oooooh nooo Christmas! So much money I have to spend." but then I can be like "oh wait, I already got half of my shopping done" with a big smile on my face. I'll admit though, it did take the fun out of the Christmas rush and standing in long lines seeing other people getting their Christmas gifts. Oh well, if I (or they) live long enough and have the funds, then there will always be next year.
So far I have spent $50 on birthday/Christmas gifts. Let the crying begin.
I just realized that the oldest sister is getting $10 from me on her birthday. Wow, how did I miss that. It's not quite fair to the other sister, but oh well.
