X-mas shopping has begun

I've never really started shopping for X-mas this early before. The only people I am buying for is my parents since I'm not seeing anyone right now. I'm trying to buy something each paycheck so I can make it a good one for them. I know they cannot buy anything for me since they have hardly any money, but it doesn't bother me and I do not want them to spend what little they have on me.

I'm trying to buy stuff they need, and try to buy enough to last them for awhile. If I can save them money on this stuff and get them the better stuff I know it will be a big help to them. I know they cannot afford name brand stuff, only the generic bare essentials. I'm trying to get them the household things they have a hard time getting because the little they get in assistance does not allow them to buy. I hope to go over for X-mas with my truck packed of stuff for them. I plan on going overboard because I want them to be pampered.

Once it gets close to X-mas I'm going to take pay for my vacation hours I'll have accumulated by then on the last check before X-mas. I hope to take that and whatever overtime I'll have to get them gift cards for a couple stores by them so they can get what they need or want, and a gas card for when they need it.

I know mom will cry and be emotional because she'll feel bad because she'll think she has to buy me something and cannot. That is how she is. To see her worry about things and be upset cuts thru me like a knife. I'm making it my priority to help as much as I can, and make life easier for them in any way I can.
