Traffic jams. Shortage of parking slots. Overcrowded malls. Long queues in check out stations and commuter lines.

These are just some indications that Christmas is around the corner. Yes, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go!

I keep telling myself that I will commence my holiday shopping October of every year. But you know what? I still keep finding myself on first week of December, still completing my Christmas list and planning several trips to the mall. This weekend, I am planning to go and start my shopping. Let’s see if I can finish on one go. I doubt very much if it will work but let’s see.

Are you done or even half-way through your Christmas shopping? If not, when do you plan to do it?

I think I will start with my immediate family. And then for friends. My godchildren already have their gifts from me so that’s not a problem anymore.

Argh! Holiday rush!
