Holidays are a comin'

I just realized that it is closing in scarily fast on the holidays. As in Christmas, as in shopping, as in I have to do the shopping for dad even if I don't wanna do any shopping for me. ::pounds head on desk::

Trouble with doing shopping like that is you have to find something that can be a gift for everyone because as the dad/grampa/greatgrampa he can't buy something for one and not for all the others - and there are a lot of "all the others". So, I am going to have to figure out finances and start getting things that can be given to my siblings and their kids and their kids and... ::shakes head:: It would not be so bad, but I am going to need to look for stuff from those hard to buy for 60+ adults down to locating unique baby gifts for the youngest of the great grand nephews. And every age in between.

It would be so much easier if I could just call off the holidays, but I know that it is going to end up being a "Christmas at grandpa's house!" event, so I better start considering just who I need to buy things for and start sorting out who I can afford to buy stuff for.
