Yikes, Only 20 days til Christmas!

I can't believe how fast this time of year "speeds" by. Have you ever noticed that time actually speeds up from October to January and actually "slows" down June to August? If you don't believe me just ask anyone who's lived in Mesa, AZ at least a few years.

Well, I'm actually almost ready for Christmas. I actually did pretty much all of my Christmas shopping on the internet this year. I've decided it has some perks. You can compare prices with all the stores and you don't have to drive anywhere or hassle with all the crowds. And everything I've bought has had free shipping. Another perk is everything I bought had so sales tax and several things had pretty big rebates. So, I figure I saved quite a bit compared to shopping at stores. So, I'll find out at Christmas if it was all worth while.

I hope everyone is surviving this challenging time and that Christmas will be a special day despite those crazy things happening around us.

I'm pretty busy with my job so I don't have as much time to blog as I'd like. My daughters are pretty good bloggers though and so I'd recommend checking out their blogs. Melanie can tell you all about life in Equador at melanieandjosh.blogspot.com and Amy always has fun and interesting things to say at ames-world.blogspot.com . So, take care til I have time to write again.
Julie.
