    Christmas....

    Normally, in my family, we don't talk about presents until December (late! LOL). But my fiance and his mom have some secret gift they're ALREADY planning to get me.
    What the heck could it be???? I'm wondering if maybe it's a cello, because they said they're "putting money towards it" this month. That means it has to be expensive, right?? Could it be Ugg boots? I already have a pair of knock offs so I really don't know. AAAGHH!

    Whatever it is, now I'm not going to live until I get to open it. >.<
    Anybody else have a secret gift on the way, and you're not sure you're going to survive the wait?
    Like I said, this is new to me--usually in my house lists are made on the 20th of Dec...hahaha. I'm not a spoiled brat, I swearz. ;-;
    Aw, man--and worst of all, how am I going to find something amazing enough to give to them as a thank you gift? ;-; that's the hardest part. nothing will live up to two people planning a surprise...

    Re: Christmas....

    I know it's easy to let your imagination run wild when statements are made like that. BUT, please don't get your hopes up too much. Think small and be really surprised if they do get you something really nice. But the worst thing that can happen is your expectations being ruined when Christmas morning comes and your BIG gift is a really nice Timex watch.

    Good Luck!

    I just walked into a store yesterday and noticed they were hanging up Christmas stuff... I haven't even thought about Christmas, let alone Thanksgiving! I don't know how some people do it.

    Lol, I'm not getting my hopes up too big--and hey, how can you be bummed out with a nice watch?
    Usually I get a basket of nice soaps and bubble bath every year from my parents. That's heaven to me.
    I'm just wondering WHAT THE HECK it COULD be. :/ I'm actually hoping it's not expensive because I don't have enough money to get them something nice back. A watch or bubble bath would be perfect for my budget because I can match the amazingness of their gift.

    Don't worry about matching the cost of a Christmas gift. It's the love that goes into that gift that makes it special. You buy the gifts that you can afford. They will like your gifts because it came from the love in your heart.

    You will enjoy their gifts to you, regardless of the cost for the same reason.
