Welcome to Blogmas Day 23! Every Christmas, I always promise myself that I will be more organized and not get sucked into a shopping frenzy but inevitably, at the last minute, I get a case of nerves and worry that I didn't get the right gift or the perfect gift or that whatever I did get just isn't good enough. If anything, this year has taught us what is really important in life. But still, I was beset by doubts. This is what happens when you are surrounded by extra demanding people. It doesn't help that we are in lockdown. Even doing curbside pickup is fraught with difficulty because although the website may say something is in stock and is available for pickup, when you go to checkout, the pickup time is weeks away because the store has to ship it over from another store or warehouse.
I went racing over to the local pharmacy today as I knew they had children's toys. The shelves looked like a herd of elephants had gone stampeding through. I wrote about Lego on Day Three. The Lego boxes that you see above were literally the last ones on the shelf.
I have no idea what to get a tween, do you? If you have any ideas, please let me know. They aren't properly teenagers but they aren't very young children either. Jenga is a classic game that the whole family can play. It was also the last one on the shelf. I picked up a couple of Star Wars Pez Candy as stocking stuffers and, yes, you guessed it, they were the last ones. Thank goodness for late night pharmacies! I had an elaborate blog post planned for Day 23 but I had to be honest and keep it real. I also got groceries. All the essential stores had massive lineups outside. By the time I got home, I felt completely and utterly shattered. I had an elaborate blog post planned for Day 23 but I had to be honest and keep it real.
Only 2 more sleeps until Christmas! How are you doing with your preparations?
