Christmas Shopping

I think this is the first year that I have finished my Christmas shopping before the 24th. I actually got a lot of good deals this year. I went to the outlets by Viejas casino and bought nice things on sale. I recommend the Fossil store; they have lots of watches on sale. What's good also is that because my boyfriend is in the Navy we were able to save money at the NEX (the mini mall on the navy base) too. Macy's also had some good deals. What I hate most about Christmas shopping is that although I know that I'm supposed to be buying presents for my loved one's I can't help to want to buy things for myself. For example, at the Fossil store, I knew I wanted to buy a watch for my cousin, but after seeing all those cute watches I felt the urge to buy a watch for myself. It was hard to convince myself that I didn't really need another watch. Now I have to do what I dread most at this time of year, wrapping presents. I'm not the best wrapper so I lose my patience very quickly. I would much rather be opening presents than wrapping them. But I also like the feeling of watching people open a present that I got for them. It makes me feel good that I got something for them that they like.
