I may be a little late to the game, but I’m just now beginning to put together my holiday gift list. I try to make a rule that I’m not allowed to start holiday shopping (even planning!) until the week of Thanksgiving, and typically don’t make my first actual holiday purchase until after Thanksgiving is over. Weird? Maybe, but I try to stick to one holiday at a time if I can.

I’m probably a little old to be anticipating what’s under the tree, but at the same time, there’s nothing that brings me more joy than seeing someone enjoying a gift I’ve picked out for them. I by no means expect lavish gifts, which is why I’m all about treating myself during the holidays. It’s a stressful time, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who likes to treat themselves at least once to a nice gift.
Whew. It’s been an interesting week. For me, it’s a combination of an exhausting week at work and of course, the election. I’m not one to get personal about politics but to ignore an event like that feels wrong. I’m sad to see the divide the election has caused and I hope we can all work together to end the hate from both sides and be kinder to one another. I will be doing my part to donate my time and energy to charitable causes that I personally believe in. I hope you’ll consider doing the same to build positivity in your community.
