I’ve been blogging about my shopping list since October and up to now I have managed to cross-out only 5 out of 25 from my list. I would like to believe that it is best to start Christmas shopping in January. Sigh.

If gift shopping for family and friends is something like choosing company give-away such as promotional pens, then it will be very easy. But for me, Christmas gift shopping is more personal and heart-felt; otherwise, there is no real meaning to the word “giving”.
