Well…it’s that time again. Time to break out the Christmas decorations and lights. We will probably have to get a real tree this year, or buy a new artificial one. We threw away our artificial tree that we had for over 10 years last year. The only problem is, I don’t know how I’m going to keep the babies out of it. Faith is all over the place, and Emma is not too far behind her. We always decorate the outside with lights and Christmas wreaths too.

Also, it’s time to start thinking about gift ideas. Steven and I used to really get into getting things for each other, but since we started having kids, we don’t worry about it too much anymore. We try to focus on them. We really want them to have a good Christmas. We will also need to get the grandparents something. My dad is a golfer. I won’t be able to buy him a set of golf clubs, but I may be able to get him a gift certificate for 18 holes at the local golf course. We usually have a Christmas Eve get-together with my brother and his family, so I’ll probably get them a little something. We always do gift cards every year, but this year I want to do something different. I may bake some goodies for everyone.

I’m trying to get into the spirit. It’s still tough with my mama gone, and also the fact that the anniversary of her death is 2 days before Christmas, but it I’m going to do my best. I’ve also got to plan Christopher’s 6th birthday as well, so let’s just that it’s going to be one busy month!

I can’t believe that Christmas will be here in only a little over 2 months. I haven’t even begun to think of what I’m going to get for the kids.

My husband has already started asking me what I want for Christmas. For some reason, the man just can’t go out on a limb, and pick something out that comes from his heart. He tells me I’m hard to shop for. I guess he’s right, because every year I can never think of anything to tell him. I’m not really big on jewelry, but I would love to have a new wedding ring set in white gold or possibly platinum. I can’t think of any new gadget that I’ve been just dying to have.

Before we had the kids, every year, we would each make a list to give to each other. Oh…and I assure you…he always knew what HE wanted. He would have that list completed so fast it would make your head spin. It would take me forever to make mine out. Now that we have kids, we mainly concentrate on them, and might get one thing for each other.

I guess I just enjoy getting things for them rather than for myself. Probably typical of most moms, huh? And I’m sure that my husband is probably typical of most husbands too.
