Well I will admit I have already got about half of my Christmas shopping done. I also spent the whole summer buying cute secret teacher gifts for all the holidays everytime we went away somewhere. I stored them all in my closet at school and was determined not to be late with "just the right gift", then found out no one wanted to do secret teachers this year. I was kinda bummed but now I have all these cute little seasonal items for myself.

That sounds cute- the only problem would be finding the sun the Alaska to actually make the thing grow! It's usually just over cast here in the winter when the sun is out (that's what I've been told anyway!)

It sounds like fun. christmas is another favorite time of year and I like decorating and baking.

Sounds cute, I'll have to give it a try with ds. He loves growing anything. I think I have a little farmer on my hands. (Back up job in case he doesn't make the NHL draft)
