This year it doesn't work out so great for days off before Christmas either. The program is the 20th, and we have school the next day. Then, it's 2 weeks off!! <BR/>As far as our Christmas traditions...we decorate some, but not a lot. On Christmas day we do the gifts in the morning, and then go to the movies in the afternoon. That's about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323908500781406111.post-43315157163351141672007-11-19T13:03:00.000-06:002007-11-19T13:03:00.000-06:00I feel pretty calm about it.

I am downsizing this year due to a growing family and the amount of gifts per person is not what it's all about. I want to make memories with my 4 grand-kids by doing a craft or baking cookies. I'm excited to be with my family.Mimi's Toeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918834487225748283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323908500781406111.post-56046113540256561482007-11-19T09:40:00.000-06:002007-11-19T09:40:00.000-06:00Everybody has their own time schedule for the holi...Everybody has their own time schedule for the holidays! I'm thinking of one my sisters who totally embraces procrastination, like it's a virtue! The joke in our family, when I was little and she was a young adult, still living at home, was that her presents were still "warm" from being wrapped, when we opened them on Christmas morning. She always stayed up way into the night on Christmas Eve doing her wrapping. She said it was "fun." Even though I was a kid, I remember thinking that seemed more like "work." (Besides, I didn't want her to scare off Santa!)

I have 4 days off for Thanksgiving so I'll be spending it decorating! I cannot wait.More Than A Single Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937824727324282230noreply@blogger.com
