Mine is very small this year. Actually it has nothing on it because I can't think of anything I want or need. Well, there are a lot of things I want but nothing that seems very exciting for Christmas. I have NO idea what to get for David. He is so hard to buy for every.single.year!!!
Andrew on the other hand has quite the list going. He started it a couple of months ago actually and it just keeps growing, and growing, and growing. We have never spent that much on Christmas gifts for the kids because we have never really been able to. Well, that has changed. We have been using cash for Christmas this year and are still spending way too much! David keeps thinking of more things to get Andrew and the list keeps growing. I have a bad feeling about Christmas this year. The kid isn't going to have enough time during his break to even attempt all the legos and wii games. I take that back....Andrew is fast with building lego kits so those will be something he'll enjoy doing and I guess when he gets frustrated, he can go play a wii game instead.
Grace decided yesterday to throw away her list and start over. Let me tell you, this has given me so much anxiety. She has decided that all she wants is a blue jump rope, a blue dress, and a blue and red desk. I can do all of that except the color of desk she wants. There is no way!!! Looks like I'll be returning a few things in the next couple of weeks and trying to figure out what else to get her so it is kind of even with Andrew. She does not want barbie stuff which makes me really sad because my mom got an awesome deal on a barbie camper last summer and it is already wrapped. Not sure what we are going to do about that.
I have several other people I still have to buy for and this year it is stressing me out. I just want to be done and enjoy the month of December instead of worrying about what I am going to get people. Thankfully I'm not working much this month so I have plenty of time to figure it out. Oh, and I have to buy a gift for the gift exchange game David has at work and also the one at Grandma's house. Looks like we will be doing something very simple for the kids classes this year or maybe even nothing. I'm sure I can come up with something cheap and cute for that.
What is on your wishlist this year?

Hi Melissa, Yes, Sometimes gift giving is stressful when you don't know what to get everyone. I enjoy the Christmas lights and the music etc. ,but I am waiting until we get back from my nephew's wedding to actually get serious on the Christmas purchases. I really liked the crayon wreaths. What a great idea for teachers! You know the crayon holders that you made, my grandchildren still enjoy them!! Love and Hugs to you all !!
ReplyDeleteAs for my Wish list, I am like you, I just want to enjoy the Christmas season with Love, Peace, and Joy !! Jesus is the reason for the Season !! I think sometimes people forget to realize this -
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of people that are hard to buy for....my dad!
