We're almost done with the gift shopping. My favorite part of gift shopping is for the stocking stuffers. I don't know why. I think it's because I can get the cute little funny things that my family loves without it seeming too cheesy. I went to a holiday faire at the Blaisdell center. I thought it was supposed to be a craft fair. It was a lot like the swap meet at Aloha Stadium. I found a Hello Kitty lanyard for Annika, peppermint soap from Filthy Farmgirl and a keychain. Cute stuff for stockings. I'm too excited to wait for Christmas!
After the faire, we went to Ala Moana. Ala Moana is a huge outdoor mall in Honolulu. Amber had to pick up Star Wars cookie cutters from Williams Sonoma. While I was there, I picked up a gift for Travis' that I know he will love! Of course I went to BBW while we were there and I got more anti-bacterial gel as a stocking stuffer. I'm addicted. We ate lunch at Bubba Gump.
It was a fun girls day out that I needed! I think I'm finding that Christmas spirit in a different way. Traditions are what I make of them and it isn't up to anybody else to get me into the spirit. Traditions are adaptable. Life isn't always perfect and if I have the mindset that it has to be, I will be disappointed.
Life is exactly as it should be.
