I probably shouldn't be starting the shopping because we still need to replace the rear brake pad[s?] on our car and make more payments to the dentists and heating oil company...but I couldn't resist. I like starting to fill Santa's sack.
Punch and I dashed to the bank before it closed at 5, and that left me time to get a little something for Figgy and Sis before another shop closed, plus a really nice Christmas card for H. and another for a special pal.
Then Punch begged to go into the Learning Express toy store, and I was pleased to see a toy collection box there. A Girl Scout troop is collecting for a women's and children's shelter in Paterson. I got one of those cute "My First Purse" gifts, in purple and pink plush, for ages 2 and up.
I've always loved Toys for Tots collections and the Giving Tree at church, where you choose a tag or two and get what's requested, from gloves to toys. I also took the opportunity to talk to Punch about how hard it would be to live in a shelter.
Good night. Let the season begin.

- Worked. Kind of fun, must admit. But get back to me in the next few days, when I''m buried in copy about corkscrews and lemon reamers again.
- H. made really good sole for supper. Had with Brussels sprouts.
