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! :-)

    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!

    Hugs - Tiffany

    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.
