We do our own thing, and a couple of my brothers act like it’s a travesty, for crying out loud. We see them the next day! We didn’t spend OUR Christmas eves with aunts and uncles. Not so sure why that one day of the year is so necessary–If you want to see me that bad, pick up the phone any other old day! 🙂

But all our parents and other family live right in town – there’s usually no avoiding crazy schedules and attempts and getting everyone at the same place at the same time. CrAzY! I say usually because this year might just turn out different – we’ll have to see!

One gift from Santa sounds nice 🙂 Keeping the magic alive – but also not too hard on the pocketbook! 😀

Have a great Thanksgiving!

She will LOVE the balance bike!

LOVE the bike and I’m sure Put Pie will too!!!

Feel good, xo jj

I didn’t know that about the Mexican culture. Interesting. You learn something new about the world every day.

Love your song! I’m a huge Elton John fan from 3rd grade. Loved seeing the words to your song.

We have my sister-in-law and her entire family here for ten days so Thanksgiving will be hectic. Christmas we will be on our own which is not so much fun. Elton John might be many things but he is a great song writer and this is one of my favorites too.

Your Song is a pretty good choice. When my son was born, the radio was playing Cats in the Cradle. Talk about crying! I absolutely can not listen to that song anymore.

The Santa thing is fun and all – EXCEPT for two very big things: 1) you get no credit for santa gifts and that sucks. and 2) you are lying to your child and someday they will find out and will cry and scream at you (this happened to me!).

Your song is beautiful.

I’ve said it for year, but this year it’s really going to happen. The kids are so used to being spoiled from Santa, that the whole reason of Christmas has been lost. They get a rude wake-up call this year…even though they’ve been warned.

I love that little bike for Put Pie! Sweet!

Have a good weekend!

It’s ridiculous…. seriously! We actually have to have someone bring us part of the stuff later in the year because we can’t fit it all!

I have seen kids on these adorable little bikes… it is hysterical to see them “flinstone” those things around… I love it. And I know she will too!

Have a great weekend!!!

🙂

My husband’s family – and MINE – have always done Christmas Eve gifts and then Santa Stockings in the morning. Make the planning, you get this year – I get next year. And a PAIN when my SIL’s muck it up by coming on MY year to go to MY parents. sheesh.

I lost mine somewhere along the way and now behave poorly when presented will ill-mannered holiday guests. Maybe I just need to drink more…

We never pushed Santa, but the kids loved him and as each one has gotten to the middle elementary grades, that belief had just kind of faded away.

I don’t like turkey either. Maybe your husband will come and bake a chicken for us???

Since it’s has egg in it you could consider it a breakfast drink. That wiki page shows it being poured on a snow cone – that’s a cool idea (no pun intended).

Chicken is a great compromise for Thanksgiving. I have an uncle who doesn’t like turkey, so he made steak. Chicken sounds better. 🙂
