Last Minute gift shopping

Every single year at this time, Christmas Eve and eve of the eve, I get this feeling that I need to buy more. So sure enough, H and I went out today. The stores and traffic were totally nuts. Long, long lines and that feeling of franticness. I bought a few small things. ( One was actually a gift from S to H)

Tomorrow will pick up lottery tickets for the two stockings I’m filling with fewer things than ever this year. D1 does not get a stocking because she will not be here Christmas morning. Not punishment. Just a way of easing out of the stockings. May continue to help S finish his shopping. Last minute, or last second or never shopping is totally in line with his personality. But helping him shop may ease my ridiculous feeling that I need to buy more.
