Merry Christmas!

This will be my last post for this week. Maybe. I might update over the weekend - a rare weekend post!

I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

I hope your holidays are magical and blessed.

Even though our children are only allowed to have 3 things from us, the tree is exploding with gifts sent from other relatives.



Santa always comes on Christmas Eve and leaves his 3 gifts per child unwrapped by the tree and puts a few treats in the stockings. On Christmas morning, they can enjoy their Santa gifts and finally sooth their curiosity about the wrapped gifts. Even I don't know what is in the packages sent by relatives, so I'm excited about that. It's a surprise for me too.

The Evil Twin and I never exchange gifts, but just seeing the looks on the kids' faces is gift enough for me.

Again, Merry Christmas to all - I will be using my free time to catch up on my beloved blogs! :-)

  8. We do the same thing! No wrapping for Santa gifts. He leaves stocking treats and then they get to open the presents from us... which mainly consists of clothing!

  9. Merry, merry to you my friend. Love your tradition of only 3 gifts....and of non spouse gifts....if only I could convince Steve that the meaning of this season is family love only. Hope you have good weather, lots of fun with the kids and a wonderful 2010.
