That is right my sister’s….Christmas planning has begun.  The lists are being crafted and the checking account is already starting to drain in anticipation of the birth of Jesus.  Kind of odd that we have turned a spiritual holiday into a consumer spending frenzy, eh?  I won’t dwell on that as the span of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas really is my favorite time of year.  I love buying presents (and receiving them) and wrapping gifts and baking treats.  The old cliche of Christmas making you want to be a better person rings true for this gal.

So yesterday I was exchanging emails with my mother-in-law about lists and gifts.  This is a big year–in the span of six weeks, it is their 40th wedding anniversary, our 1st wedding anniversary and three of our birthdays.  Yikes!  That is a lot of gift giving….so in preparation for said giving and receiving, I found this lovely little chart to map out sizes and color preferences.  How cute!  You can even download it yourself from illustrator, Cookie’s blog.  Now my only concern is the fact that this cute little gal has nipples showing and I really don’t think my mother-in-law would like to picture me naked anytime soon, so I might paste a little dress on her before emailing this, but the concept and illustration is just adorable.

It’s time to start the holiday cheer!

• I love this little gift chart!! Oh the heartache it could have saved me with so many ill-fitting gifts.
