Is It Too Early To Stress About Christmas?

 Today was a busy day at work.  I was going from the time I left the house this morning until I finished my afternoon mail drop.  I like days like this, though, because the time goes by fast.  The days I come home for a few hours always seem to drag on.  I am glad I have a job, though, because there are so many people who don't.  And even though I know it is a little early to be thinking about this, I am stressing getting the kids Christmas gifts this year.

They are getting old enough that they want things that cost more money, like electronics and such.  I was checking out a Geeky Gadgets Site, and there are so many things to choose from.  I like that they offer Apple Store coupon and Vistaprint coupons, so if I decide to spend some serious money, I can also save some serious money.  My girls are asking for laptops, and I am pretty sure that no matter how much money I am able to save up, it won't be enough to get them each one.  I am trying to talk them into things that are a little less expensive. 

Like maybe a deck of cards or a hula hoop...

My girls all want laptops too. We tell them no. It's just too much. There is one condition in which we would get them one....if they get straight A's on a report card. Hasn't happened yet. Now if they save their own money from working hard, etc, we'll help them buy one. As for Christmas I do get it. It is getting so hard...but with 4 girls I can't afford to buy them all expensive electronics.
