Finally! Christmas shopping for the nieces and nephews is done! There are eight, so it’s always a bit of a challenge (and bank breaker). Everybody gets two books and a toy. Exception to the rule: If they’re too young to even know what Christmas is, we go a little light on the gifts. We give books because they’re always good gifts and we love to read, and the toy in case they hate the books. Besides, when you’re a kid, you need something bright and shiny under the tree, not just books.
The hubby and I usually have a little rule, that we don’t give toys that make noises to other family members, because then the next year they might turn around and give us a drum or something. However, one kid is getting a ladybug enclosure and certificates for ladybug larvae this year, so hopefully we won’t get an ant farm next year.
Now to wrap and ship – and finish shopping for everyone else!
