It's a Wrap!

I'm nothing if not efficient!
Yesterday, my Christmas shopping was on the list if dreaded tasks.
Today, it is behind me.
Leaving the house at 8 AM, driving to the neighbouring town, trying to beat the forecast storm, was my challenge for the morning.
Four stores later, my shopping was finished....within my budget
and before the sky opened up.
I drove home in a mix of ice pellets, snow and freezing rain.
This afternoon I watched the snow pile up while the gifts were wrapped.
Now, I need to pack for our trip to visit the kids and grand kids!

We have been richly blessed with five children and now eight grandchildren.

Thursday morning early we hope to be on the road. The forecast is favourable....but we have another day with snow today.
It's a white white world this morning....and the snow is still falling.

@Morleyhunt I don't think many of us want to pay for it six months from now.

It's the staying within my budget that's often difficult.
I certainly don't want to be paying for Christmas, six months from now.

@dodo19 so, I've learned to budget...and then stick to it!

I decided to go with socks and gift cards. Not terribly imaginative...but we have a large family, and everyone has pretty much the things they want and need,

@Juliaacv we'll be driving the long stretch again. After this trip, we have no plans to head back to Ontario until possibly June.

Thank you! This morning I'm going to relax and watch the snow accumulate. I'm glad the forecast for our travel days doesn't include snow.

@Morleyhunt It's Wednesday and it's very cloudy today, I fear it's going to snow.

It's now 5 PM Tuesday, and it's finally stopped snowing. That said...now it's windy, so driving is still treacherous. Tomorrow and Thursday promise to be nicer days.

I beat it home. Hubby went out in it later and also returned safely home.
The forecast for Thursday and Friday (our travel days) is much better.

Relax? Once we arrive in Ontario we can relax for a few days....then we have the long drive back home.

Currently about 6 inches (15 cm) with at least as much more coming down overnight.
It's heavy and wet.
The photo shows a previous snowfall.
