You know, I enjoy this time of year.
I get in and do my Christmas shopping and make sure I get things for my family which are special and endearing to them - things they'll use for years and remember I bought them or made them for them.
This year, I am op-shopping and hand-making things for them - and this has made things a lot different for me.
I'm not only going to charity stores for my Christmas shopping but also I'm going there to donate more bags and boxes of goodies for other people to buy from those stores at this time of year... which makes me feel better about my house and life as well.
Today, I donated a bag of clothes which have been sitting by the side door to my car port for weeks and found it was a good day to window shop.
Yeah... sure... window shop... me?
Anyway, I found myself a nice ladder for the bathroom, a tea set from the 1960's and a set of rosary beads (why I got the latter things I'm not sure; but they've always fascinated me to no end). Anyway, I'm pretty proud of the things I bought there.
I'm going to fix up the ladder and make it look good. Otherwise, it's going to be another day out for me to look for Christmas presents.
So, how are you doing with your end-of-year cleanout? Seeing I'm working from my local library, and not at home, I'll be doing a lot of cleaning out of my house in the next few days... not a bad trade from my computer monitor dying on me. I'll get the house cleaner for Christmas.
