3 Months Until Christmas!
Did you know that there are only 3 months until Christmas?
Every year I swear that I am going to get have everything organised early but so far I never have. I am out doing last minute shopping with every other silly person and staying up until past midnight wrapping presents on Christmas Eve. Well not this year, I have promised myself a stress free Christmas this year and with a little bit of planning that’s exactly what I am going to have.
My kids start school holidays next week so one activity that we will be doing is to make Christmas Wish Books, these are simply an exercise book which each child can decorate and start pasting in pictures of things that they would like for Christmas. I have been saving the toy catalogues for the last couple of weeks, so we should have plenty of pictures to get us started.
After school goes back my aim is to try and buy each child 1 present from their book each week until I am done. I am also going to spend 15 minutes or so each week to wrap up and label any presents that I have purchased so that I don’t have the horrible task of wrapping everything at midnight on Christmas Eve.
Have you started planning for Christmas?, what sorts of things have you done or are planning to do?, I’d love your ideas

that is a great idea to file away for later - I have two year twins and they don’t care much for any toys - except the contents of my kitchen drawers, our shoes and socks - keys and mobile phones.
I will tell my Sister in law though for her kids.
