I like to do my Christmas shopping in December. It makes it feel truly like that time of year. I do on occasion make some purchases before then. The other day I was in Target buying some items for the home. I stopped by the toy department as I was working my way around the store, and there I picked up some Bionicles for a nephew. I also picked up some Star Wars toys. I can't make up my mind if I want to give them as a present for my other nephew or keep them for myself. I already have quite the collection.

It seems that every year I buy as much stuff for myself as for the people on my gift list. Why is that?
