We just do gifts now with the young nieces/nephews so between me online and my daughter finding great bargains (she loves to shop, loves the crowds), she will make sure its done on time! I have some ceramic houses that light up that I put all through the living room. Love those. Too I love to watch those older classic movies on the classic movie channel Caffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830854922444380155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33550695.post-13308528678942862952010-11-17T14:15:05.128-05:002010-11-17T14:15:05.128-05:00Anne, I think that's the more important part o...Anne, I think that's the more important part of being ready--and the more important part of the holidays! Being ready to enjoy the time together with people you love, celebrating giving and thankfulness--definitely the vital part of the holiday season. The gifts and shopping recede in importance next to that.Fedorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879033776125666713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33550695.post-89885703335178383892010-11-16T18:44:12.494-05:002010-11-16T18:44:12.494-05:00Mary--A birthday and Christmas, now that's the...Mary--A birthday and Christmas, now that's the way to celebrate! :)Anne Raineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110446131001665977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33550695.post-9660686275126396722010-11-15T23:02:01.109-05:002010-11-15T23:02:01.109-05:00Such a wonderful post Anne.

Hubby's birthday is Christmas Eve so the family has 2 reasons to get together.<br />It's always fun & he gets twice the presents.<br />We make sure we separate the birthday part from the Christmas part, like making sure there is no red or green icing anywhere near his birthday cake.LOLMary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33550695.post-41082381429117992682010-11-15T14:32:32.998-05:002010-11-15T14:32:32.998-05:00Maria--Thanks for the reminder!

There is nothing like seeing the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a child. It is also my mother's favorite time of the year and she often tells us that the reason behind it is that she remembers the magic and excitement Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725158679607402731noreply@blogger.com
