Thankful Day 25

I'm thankful for Christmas shopping done early.  I think I've managed to pull off a surprise for my husband, and it's already ordered (yay!).  He's also allowed me to get out a few evenings lately and do a bit of shopping so that I won't have so much to do in the rush before the holidays.  I'm thankful for that because the stores have been quiet but many of them have started their "black Friday" sales early so I have gotten a few good deals.  My kiddos have super specific lists, but the stocking stuff and gifts for nephews, etc. are what I am looking for mostly.  So today, I'm very thankful for any Christmas shopping I can get done before the rush begins.
