I think this Christmas season will feel more like Christmas. Actually, I'm going to make it an effort to lift my head, look around, and appreciate this holiday -- from the garlands and lights on the street lamps to the Christmas lights on trees and buildings to the chilly weather and bundled up people w/ shopping bags. This is the Holidays in New York. And this is what I've been missing out on for some years now b/c I'm too caught up in what I'm getting ppl and with what money. This year my family is doing a spin on our tradition (for a good reason) and doing something different, but still fun. In a 18-20 person household, you can imagine just how expensive Christmas gets for ALL of us. Expensive = Stressful.
So since almost all of us came from vacation, the budgets are tighter. Thanks to my family, we've come up and agreed on only 2 gifts this year: one for our traditional yankee swap, and
another as a prize for games (trust me, these games are fun, and sometimes so funny you might pee on your pants). The babies will of course get their gifts b/c I doubt they will be playing games =)
Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Shopping!
