Should I start my Christmas shopping in October.

Here in Alaska we are still enjoying the Autumn leaves.  There is snow on the mountaintop I am looking at out of my window, but I am not ready to think about Christmas, snow, freezing temperatures.  The snow will gradually come down the mountain and the days will get shorter and shorter.  Then is time to think about Christmas.

Some people I know do their shopping all through the year, but I find if I purchase a present for somebody, I give it to them because I can’t wait until Christmas.  I believe it is better though to have a plan for each of my children and really think about what they would like.  Toys, Books, Clothing, Bedding it is hard to decide.  They like them all.

Especially if we are planning to shop online, it may be better to start soon.

What do you think?

We have added a bunch of children’s books to our store inventory.  This will give a lot more choices.  Do you read to your children?  One suggestion is 20 minutes per day should be spent reading to your child.  It is also suggested that you read to your child from birth and continue to read to them.  It is important to discuss the story with the child and get his opinions.

This is an inexpensive form of entertainment for the child and the parents.  It is time spent together and getting to know each other a little better.
