The Christmas Thread, Ho, Ho, Ho!!

Just a bump for the weekend

[The Anchor]

Don't hate me...but all my presents are bought. I am soooo weird that way. You know, I think its because growing up, my stepmother HATED Christmas, like literally every year you could expect a plate flying across the room or something equally awful. She drilled it into us how much she hated Christmas every single year. We stopped getting presents around 8 years old and just got envelopes with money. I vowed I would NEVER behave like that ever, and literally EMBRACED Christmas as an adult, LOL. We live in different provinces and don't even see each other at Christmas now, but if she lived close I don't think she'd even come over!

Anchor, do you reeeally decorate?? I am kind of on top of xmas atm and I need to put more cheer into it so I think I will try and make the place look more festive this year, homemade decs with the kids and such

Any good ideas for decs appreciated! I have paper chain things and punchinella which we make stars out of, what does everyone else do????????

I've baked up all the sheets of ginger bread and we're "decorating" those this weekend. The kids favourite part of Christmas I think. Our ginger bread house last year was 2 feet tall! LOL.

I am really not in the Christmas spirit this year but love reading about those who are!!!

Blah I just started. My kids were nagging that I put up the Christmas Tree up already so I found the energy and said let's do it. I usually dreaded it because I am very anal on how it's decorated so I would only let my girl do very minimal. This year I said I didn't care and let my girls help me. I also do hate gift wrapping so I bought some gift boxes with the design on it already :P My Christmas tree is very feminine only because I have all girls. It has pinks, purples, and lots of glitter I will be hosting the Christmas gathering at my house and totally not looking forward to it. Dhs family huge and I should expect around 100 people over :/ I am super happy I bought all of the decorations for the seating area.

I still haven't worked up the courage to ask DH if I can get a plan as his head is full of his new job atm. I'm hoping to over Xmas though as it looks like my fertility maybe slowly returning. Ds3 is 12 months now & still bf. I want to start a stealth sway in January but don't want to go overboard this time!
