Christmas is Coming...

    I'm stressed.  There are less than 15 days until Christmas Eve and I'm totally stressed.  I'm usually more ahead of the game by this point but who knows what happened this year. 
    Our tree is up and the decorations are done but it's not that.  I'm stressed because we haven't gotten our shopping done.  No Christmas presents, toys, gifts...HOW are there less than 15 days left and we're so far behind? 
    I know some people who are not only done with their shopping, but their gifts are actually wrapped and ready to go. uggggggg...I'm so far behind. 
    Christmas isn't about the presents or how much you give/get, but I still want the kids to be able to have what they've hoped for on Christmas morning.
    I'm learning that it was easier when they were younger and the tree was surrounded with huge toys that were big and bulky for toddlers.  Now...thirty dollars will get you a tiny little game for their Nintendo DS that barely looks like anything under the tree.  It feels like we're spending more and getting less. 
    I need to get on the ball and start shopping.  I think next year I'll start in September.

Not done here either. Not even close. Maybe we will see each other out. I will be the one on the verge of tears, with frazzled hair and clothing, and panting from racing around like a lunatic.

What if you camouflage the smaller presents by putting them in a box in a box in a box... Might be fun for them to reall guess what it is. Just ask for extra boxes at clothing stores, Gap, Old Navy, any dept store.

Jess, that is brilliant! The kids would have so much fun going through the boxes too! It sure would help to add some bulk to the presents that I haven't gotten yet. Thanks for such a great idea and have a Wonderful Christmas!!! XO

I was like this last year so this year I started early, used coupons, and am now actually enjoying the holiday season. I started a how to couponing website to help other moms cash in on savings I find. Its a brand new site so bare with it. But I do plan on doing a big last minute gift ideas blog that should be able to help you. Hopefully have it done by Friday night. Hope you like it. www.practicalcouponer.com
