Countdown to Christmas: 20 days...

Well, it's officially started; Christmas parties and all the rest.

We went to Duncan's staff Christmas party on Saturday night, and got a VCR as one of our gifts! It's kind of a long story, but they do this thing where you pick a gift at random from under the tree and open it, and then the next person can either pick a new gift from under the tree or steal yours. Not only that, but we go through this twice, once for new gifts and once for "regifts." The VCR we got was actually a regift! I thought that was kinda cool.

One of the other regifts we saw, wasn't actually a regift at all, just something someone thought would be really funny. It's this doll, kinda like a Barbie, and she's dressed up like a Christmas tree, and has a Santa hat on! It's really strange! I guess that the person who brought it picked it up at HomeSense! It looked like a really vintage thing, but it was actually new! It was hilarious!

I really need to get Christmas shopping soon. I mean, there's only just over 2 weeks before we leave for Saskatchewan, and we don't have anything for any of Duncan's family yet. We've got a few ideas, but haven't bought anything yet. Actually, we haven't really bought anything for anyone yet... Being farther away from West Ed makes Christmas shopping a little more difficult I think.
