Getting excited for Christmas

This morning Ellie woke up asking how many more days there was until Christmas. I quickly responded 18. She then gasped, and said holy cow that doesn't give me much time to finish my shopping does it (like she is this adult with a list full of gifts to buy on Christmas Eve). Anyway, when I asked her who she needed to buy gifts for she looked at me with this look like I was maybe a bit of an idiot, and then took a big breath and said--- Shaneal, Makenzie, Lizzy, Julia, Danielle, Hope, Taylee, Breely, Jade, Halena, Alexia, Naomi, Issa, Kyla, Weston, Sam, Leuban, Teagan, Nathan, Jared, and the list went on and on. I then preceded to explain to her that she could choose 6 friends to buy gifts for, and that she needed to be willing to earn money for the gifts she wants to buy. She wasn't to thrilled with the need to earn the money, but said she will do it cause she wants to buy the gifts, so wish her luck in earning the hundreds and hundreds of dollars as she put it, to buy these friends' gifts. Good Luck Ellie....
