i have not stressed over christmas for many years now. just not worth it. my boys got a couple of things they wanted most and were happy.since they hit their teen years it is even less stressful :O) the presents are scarce but i best have a tree!!
i was like that with my shopping when the boys were litlle ones. besides they both have dec birthdays! they got doubled spoiled by everyone!! birthdays were never left out because of christmas. now all they want is mall bucks- so easy & i am done just like that :O)
i hate it they start the music so early..YUCK! i like the music but still....from thansgiving to new years is enough. some stations play it for orthodox christmas,too.i guess fair is fair when it comes to holidays :O)
you will have so much fun at christmas with ethan!! don't be sad if he is only interested in the first toy he opens! the christmas justin turned one took all day to open presents :O) because he had to play after opening something-then he was ready for more:O) .
you would have loved our sweet treat at work the other day!! we were all craving chocolate & ice cream. so, the owner went to the store & bought fudgesicles and 1 bag of every flavor of hershey kisses!!! we have had a big choco feast:O)
it doesn't seem to phase justin at all that he works on holidays. he knew it goping into cooking & restaurant business. jeremy doesn't seem to care much- he says he is too old for holidays especially with no family around. as long a she goes to church that i'm happy
Oh how I wish you could send me some snow too! It did snow here in the sunshine state one Christmas. I think my daughter was 7 at the time. We stayed up all night waiting for it & it was very exciting to see. Of course it wasn't like your snow, we could barely see it coming down & it just dusted the ground & the tops of cars & the garbage can lids. It melted as soon as the sun came up. When I was in Jr high school it did snow one year in January. The schools were closed & everything. Ya'll would have laughed at us silly Floridians for closing the schools when the snow wasn't even a 1/2 inch deep. But we could scoop up enough to make a few snowballs & it stayed on the ground most of the morning. Oh what fun :)
