It is. I used to enjoy it, like it was a personal shopping spree, but every year I seem to get left with excess of something and not enough of something else, and they are never the same thing, so it's real crystal ball stuff:(

If I don't order now though I simply won't be able to get stock in Jan/Feb, so it's just the way it is....*shrugs*....boy I need a nice job somewhere with no responsibility!
