Have You Started To Make Your Shopping List For Christmas Yet?

Have you started to make your shopping list for Christmas yet? As the holiday are fast approaching us stores like K-Mart and Wal Mart are now opening there layaway department.  Using layaway it allows customers to pick up what they want now for the holidays and pay a little on it each week. This in return lets customers get all the items they want on their list before the rush starts, and allows them to pay for them over time making it alot easier on families.

As my family grow and my daughter has married this year we have had to add a few names to our shopping list for Christmas. I start each year by making and list and deciding on how much I have to spend  total. I then decide if we are buying just for the kids or for everyone depending on the finances for the year.

This year gifts at my home will be home made. As finances are very tight here since my husband has stage 4 cancer there is nothing coming in and I have MS.  We are struggling like so many other families in the US but we are still together. 

My family a few years ago gave me a wonderful gift of some crochet yarn some crochet needles a few books about crocheting and a container to place my yarn in. This gift was very special to me as my mom used to crochet when I was young.  I had learned a few stitches when I was in my teens.  Back in February I had a stroke and ended up in the hospital and then for almost a month in a rehab facility. My sister in-law brought me a needle in and 2 skeins of yarn.  My hands were not working correctly my left one hardly could hold anything at all and I could not move it over my head, much less up in the air to much.  I went and started pulling out the yarn and started to try rolling it in a ball. I would do this over and over making my fingers and hands work.   Using my fingers to grasp the ball of yarn as I used the other one to roll it on the ball of yarn. I can't tell you how many times I dropped this yarn or the ball of yarn.

This year my children that are grown are getting some hand made crocheted afgans. I have been taking my yarn every other week with me to the hospital as my husband goes through cancer treatments and crocheting afgans for Christmas gifts for the family.  Once I finish  with this last one I am working on now I will start a few poncho's for my granddaughter as well as a scarf and hat set.  I also already finished a single blanket that is all crocheted for her bed.  Her favorite colors are pink and purple so I found some varigated yarn that was purple and pink and I used a dark purple to off set it. Her blanks is just beautiful.

Santa Signs Are Out Telling Customers He Will Be Arriving Soon!

This week I took my husband to get some things he need so we went to Walmart here in our area. There was a sign already out telling customers that Santa would arive November 6, 2011 here where we live in Maryland. I was surprised to see it as this weekend is Halloween and is the end of October. The sign made my husband start to think about will he be here for Christmas as he has stage 4 cancer. He told me he wanted to start to pick up a few things for our granddaughter as well as the kids because he may not be able to go out as it gets colder and I seen tears begin to run down his face. I asked him what was wrong and he said he didn't know if he'd be here to see the kids at Christmas. It choaked me up and I to had to hold back the tears so he didn't see me so upset. We never seem to think about these types of things till something happens to someone in your own family or a very very close friend. For the last few months as I sit at the hospital I have been making crocheted blankets for our kids and one for my granddaughter. I told Howard we can start picking things up or he could look on the computer and order something for the kids that he didn't have to worry they would have something from him. He took a breath turned and looked at me from the scooter he was in and said ok I never thought of ordering things for them online. I said yeah if you do it soon you will have everything ready and wrapped before the holidays. Lots of older people can't make their way in to the stores when it gets cold out and crowded with holiday shoppers. So shopping on line makes their life a little bit easier for them. This is also great for people that are handycapped in one way or another giving them a choice and the freedom they deserve. Happy Holidays Everyone!

Needy families all over the USA are asking for help this holiday season. As the holiday is getting closer more and more families will be getting turned away from organizations. Can you be a sponsor this year to make a child's Christmas a little brighter this holiday season? I have several families right now asking for help if it is possible at this time. To find out more please contact Shirley Bollinger at http://www.Happyholidaygiftstore4u@yahoo.com and let me know you would like to be a sponsor. Right now I have a 27 year old mother of three baby girls asking for help for her family. She has no money for gifts for her children and they still believe in Santa. If you would like to adopt Susan's family or one of the other families please let me know. One of the other families have young 2 boys and a 12 year old girl. She is a divorced mom and is out of work and can not find a job at this time. Another young family with a 7 year old girl just barly making ends meet are asking for a sponsor for their daughter. There are more and more people out of work this year. We need to pull together to help others in any way we can.. If you would like to help a family please let me know. You can purchase off my site and have the gifts directly sent to the family in time for Christmas. So you don't have to live close by to help a family if you are able to this holiday season. Please open your hearts to some needy families this holiday season. Have a Great Holiday Season this year.
