are you finished yet?

Posted by with 6 comments | in
I'm starting to get this itch, it happens ever year. 

A week or so ago I posted my final Christmas Spending Tally, signifying that I was indeed finished spending this Christmas.  A couple of days ago, the last item that I ordered online finally came in the mail - another indicator that I was finished.

 I can feel it building inside me.

I want to do more, get more, spend more on the people on my list.  There are a few things in particular that I really want people to get for Christmas.  I've been reaching out to see if others are getting these items for them - but if they don't, I fear I will break out the proverbial cheque book - and just keep shopping.

I need to not.

    You are enough of a gift, by yourself, for anyone on your list. Resistance is NOT futile!

    I know! It's hard. I am 99% finished. Just the little notes and ribbons on the presents and I will be done. :)

    I am waiting for one delivery of some other gifts. Still need to buy for Mr. Saver (not easy!) and an infant (so easy!). Typing this as I sit surrounded by bags of gifts in my office, begging to be wrapped.

    I do the same every year- I finished all my Christmas shopping two weeks ago and just this morning bought some truffles to add to my SO's gift.
    I really have to resist the temptation to buy more, I know it's not necessary.
