Crazy or not so much?

[minxybaby]

I am thinking about putting up my Christmas tree soon... like tonight or tomorrow. Is that crazy? I want to put it up while I am on days off. And I also want to get some nice holiday pictures to accompany my Christmas cards. I am nervous about having a tree up with Vicki around though. That could get very ugly. 0.o

I just bought Vicki this huge stocking from Walmart for about $7. It has about 5 large toys inside. The monster keeps growing. I just put a 20" collar on her. She's on the first notch so it should last her for a long time, if it's not the last one we buy.

I also got my pseudo niece some Christmas gifts, which was my main reason for going to Walmart. I hope she likes what I got her. Walmart has a poor selection for some reason. Thanks for all your suggestions, it really helped me decide what to get. I bought her a big toiletries kit (lotion, soap, shower gel, hair barrettes & elastics, puff, bath bomb), a beaded friendship bracelet kit, a fuzzy purple coin purse/key chain, a stuffed dog wrapped in cellophane with chocolates and a candy cane inside, and I also bought some extra chocolates and specialty candy canes for her and my nephew.

While I was out, I thought of a gift for my mother in law so I went ahead and bought it. I hope my husband approves since he's always fussy about what we get his parents. I still have the receipt to exchange it if he wants.

Hubby and I woke up around 3:30am this morning. He woke up when he heard the dog, and I woke up when he came back to the room. We both laid awake until 4:30 and then got up. He showered, took the dog out, fed the cats, and made me coffee. That was nice! I made myself a breakfast which is very unusual since we never eat breakfast. I shovelled the driveway with Vicki before going shopping. I think it's time for a nap now.

lol No kidding! I went early figuring everyone would be at work, but the place was still packed!

That's definitely not crazy! I'd like to put my Christmas tree up now too but I have to do some straightening up first.

My sister is also nervous because she has a toddler who is trying to destroy her tree. Hee! She just put up the tree tonight and he has already broken 3 ornaments.

lol Vicki is like a toddler, only she can be worse.

That doesn't sound crazy at all. Lots of my friends and family members put their trees up today or over this weekend, something about the tradition of doing it right after Thanksgiving for some of them here. =)
I just got off the phone with a friend yelling at her kitten to stop pulling the bells off her tree, so, you wouldn't be alone in putting it up all ready, lol!
Shoveled the driveway? Bleck, I'm not looking forward to that just yet, not after last winter.
I'd think about buying my cats something like that, but as it is, the one KNOWS when I even have a small container of cat treats in the bag, never mind pulling off a stocking or anything. Maybe I'll have to get her some new mice to strip of their tails this year.

hehe That's good then. Maybe I will get it up early. It's snowing out right now. It looks pretty. :) I am going to get the cats something for Christmas too. We hide them in the closet until it gets close. Last year we had to re-wrap their gifts about 5 times. lol I'm only getting them treats this year because they have lots of already and the dog keeps destroying them.

I put mine up on the 27th when I got back home.
