Good Morning everyone! I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe Christmas is just a week away! This month has just flown by way too fast for me. I feel like Christmas is just slipping away instead of getting to enjoy this magical time with family and friends.
Even though we had plans all set for Christmas this year, there’s been a change and it’s taken me a few days to feel like I was truly ready for Christmas again. I had finished my Christmas shopping before Black Friday (you don’t want ME in the stores around people when it’s crazy crowded!!) and I just finished wrapping all of the gifts for Christmas day last night. I also have all of the food planned out and just about all of the supplies bought – of course I forgot one ingredient so I’ll still have to go back out to buy that in the next couple of days.
Have you ever had it where you’ve missed buying a Christmas gift? Or maybe a last minute guest has added a new gift onto your list and now you’re struggling to find something to buy them? How about completely forgetting that you need a Secret Santa gift for work? It happens to the best of us and that’s why I wanted to share a list of the best last minute gift ideas for Christmas with you today.
