I bought gifts for others but also has a great time clothes shopping for myself. Knowing our budget did not allow for so much spontaneous frivolity directed at me, I suggested to Bill that I could wrap several items for him and the girls to give to me for Christmas as well as for my birthday in January. Just like you, I loved every one of my Christmas gifts- and they fit me perfectly!! Under the circumstances of our Christmas this year, it was a double blessing: my last-minute shopper of a husband did not have the stress of buying gifts this Christmas. Now that was a "God-thing"!!
