YES it's that time of year again.
The time of year when stress seems to triple, sleep is almost non existent. And the chubby guy at the North Pole is filling your letter box with copious amounts of pamphlets hinting that the only way to make everyone happy is to empty your bank account entirely.
It's exhausting, so much work goes into this one day and right up until the last minute you are in panic mode, wondering what it is that you may have forgotten.
Even so, it is my favorite time of the year.
This year, getting Christmas present ideas out of my boys has been like pulling teeth. DIFFICULT
I'm not sure about you (those of you with sons) but it seems the older boys get, the harder they are to buy for.
Me on the other hand could write a list as long as my arm. However instead of pinning my list to the fridge, I am going to post it here, because in my home a list pinned to the fridge wouldn't get a look at as everyone is too busy looking inside the fridge trying to find something to fill their bellies.
*Candles, I love them. A girl can never have too many
*A gold necklace chain so that I can wear my favorite pendant again
*More arm bling. I am newly obsessed with bracelets and bangles
*A new sewing machine
*And a fabulous Christmas surrounded by my family
Do you have a Christmas wish list for 2013 ? And is it pinned to your fridge ?
Linking up with Jess for the final November IBOT.........My where has this year gone ?
I want no screaming, fighting or tears, and I'd also like the kids to do the same!!! HA HA. :) xx
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on candles - you can never have too many !!!!! K has asked me for a list which I have made for her - trying to get a list out of her is a little more difficult !!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to say this (and I hope we can still be friends afterwards - LOL !!!) I'm not a huge fan of Christmas - I think it's very over rated and commecialised - having said that I do enjoy the time off work and love to relax at home with the family (or at least with A because K isn't around much !!!)
I hope you have a wonderful one and that you manage to get some idea from your boys. A always asks for the same thing - dry wors and beer so I have taken to buying that for him because he truly does have everything he could possibly need or want. I'm like you - I could write down about 50 things without even stopping to think !!
Have the best week and try not to stress too much !
