Now I gotta get really PUMPED and go wrap- thats my least favorite part of Christmas but
I love it when its done!
i LOVE wrapping gifts!
crank the christmas tunes, pour a glass of wine, have all supplies at the ready and try and ENJOY!
Perfect but its Baileys time for me! Baileys tastes like Christmas to me
Yea we got a "wrapping station" in my sons old room but it seems tedious to me.
I'm just gonna keep up on it this year though so I don't have to do it for hours in one day of course I probably say that every year
I love spending time with my wife and kids watching all those Rankin-Bass clay-mation christmas specials that i loved as a kid. Rudolph, Santa Claus is coming to town, little drummer boy, etc. Found them all on DVD a few years ago. My kids love them as much as I did when I was thier age.

err....'wrapping station'...yea, again, i am spoiled...i've never had to wrap more than say 20? gifts, and even that, rare. usually 10. so i guess it's a lot easier for me to LOVE wrapping. but yes, i always have.
this year, 3 gift recipients....7 boxes wrapped:
and...
7 more days until christmas!
ahhhhhhh, a week from today, and we'll all be celebrating, enjoying!
I love christmas. Especially with a kid of my own and 2 nephews.
This year we are having breakfast at home with the family, then my brother, wife and kids go to her family. Then Mum, dad, myself and the the little guy are going to lunch at a beautiful hotel everlooking the ocean with a full buffet including seafood!!!! Yummo, prawns, crab, moreton bay bugs (an aussie thing)! It's supposed to be around 30C on xmas day, so seafood is the perfect companion!
I can't wait for the kids to open thier presents. Last year Santa left "snowy" boot marks on our verandah and on the grass! So I wonder what he will do this year???

Oh that is so cool snowy boot marks- I like that- that might be hard to top!
That brings back memories of "Santa" in our home when the kids were little. The fooling is fun while they still believe.
We have no little ones now but even though my kids are grown and there's no grandkids yet just grand doggies I still get excited to see them open their gifts.
I love the feeling Christmas morning- that really hasn't changed over all these years-they are still my babies.
Christmas is the very best time of the year!
Everything just about bought, delivered and wrapped- need to get the sock stuff and wrap those then.....
its time to start to COOK! Fun when its stuff you make just once a year- thats the key to my family thinking I'm a good cook- don't make it often enough for them not to like it!

so day after tomorrow is Christmas Eve- I think of all you young parents out there-
are you still putting together toys on Christmas eve like my husband did- clock tickin
and tracking Santa on the TV- they should maybe do a little better with that after all these years
and putting out cookies for Santa- have to take some bites make it look real drink half the milk
maybe letting the kids have one gift ahead to take the edge off? hoping for no disappointments
there is christmas excitement in the air
nobody's gonna sleep ( memory of Christmas starting in our house at 4 am!)
enjoy all the young parents- this is life! these are the memories you will cherish
