christmas christmas time of year....

I am unusually excited about Christmas this year. Maybe, because it's our first Christmas with the Indian, or maybe I just love me some Christmas?

I have started shopping earlier than usual and wrapping just about everything. I have found sweet gifts at Dollar tree that well, I thought deserved to be wrapped. I found a little pack of 4x6 color photo blanks and paired them with a small photo album and bam... instant gift.

For me, I am getting an awesome adult coloring book by Mike the chimp. It is a graffiti based book and has almost 370 pages. This should keep me busy for years!
The kids are giving me a bag of lavender delights,*grin*. Can we say stress management? I found a huge bag of lavender bath salts with pink Himalayan salts add a couple of really nice soaps, a soft cloth and a few wash clothes and Mommy is happy! Yes, I still pick out my own gifts!

So, I have a pile of presents, but no tree today. I plan on rectifying that situation very soon! Last year we were moving the week before and our tree was donated like two days before, perhaps this is why I am so excited this year??/

Anyway I'll say it again, but I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday season this year, luv JoJo!
