Christmas shopping!

This year, it's not a good Christmas time for shopping!!!
It's really a bad period, less job and therefore less money,
but it's not easy to give up shopping for Christmas presents.

Presents are a nice way to show you love your friends and relatives.
I don't like to do presents only  for the regular anniversaries like birthdays or festivities..I mean I do , I like to do..but I really like to buy presents also on other days, when people don't expect them.
I like surprises...so it makes  me  a little sad when someone...and my mom for example still does , asks me "What do you like for your birthday .or Christmas" for example??
My answer: I don't know..I like the sursprise...! It's a risk, but the baby inside of me still likes sursprises...

I still remember when I was six, and my mammy resisted...till the early morning of my birthday (St. Lucy's day) to give me her present: a wonderful collection of colors....to draw and paint!!! I was really happy..
Today my mom give me  money and tell me " please buy whatever  you like and need..."
She did. last week. as well
and I 'm buying a pair of nice  shoes or black boots!

This is my Christmas Tree at home!

A few days ago, Tv news said that this year in Italy there's a great demand  for eno-gastronomic presents!
