Sure that will be great. Besides, you had the wonderful company of the four-legged kiddos :-)<br /><br />I'm sure there were lots of gifts-denied growing up. Plenty of lackluster gift-giving for a single mom of three kids working to get out of the projects, especially the year she broke her ankle. But we had lots of love and early knowledge for the reason of the season so those Christmases were dealt with well.<br /><br />Christmas has been a yo-yoing kind of thing for me. After getting on my own, it didn't have the same glimmer and glow from all the commercialization. When I became a mom, I wanted to do all the things I knew my mom wanted but couldn't do for me so we ended up with years of doing a lot, like we did this year. But we didn't go too far over the rainbow lol!!! For myself, I haven't been much into gifts. This year, I got a daily devotional and a journal, both leather bound, so I'm actually very happy...and surprised since they were unexpected.<br />Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-45351772701339767882013-12-27T09:06:59.963-06:002013-12-27T09:06:59.963-06:00Raelyn: But you have the baking gene.

Ugh. <br /><br />I also received a Light Bright as you placed the little colored pegs through the black paper to make a light-up design. Spent hours messing with that. You don't really see those advertised anymore.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-41551715832929935172013-12-26T11:26:35.017-06:002013-12-26T11:26:35.017-06:00Stacy: Careful what you wish for. :) I'm glad ...Stacy: Careful what you wish for. :) I'm glad the cookie splurge is only once a year.

Toys always looked better on television!<br /><br />My Christmas was great, but I'm now the owner of way too much cookies and candy! And no, I didn't bake any (they were gifts). Last year I didn't get any candy and I guess I complained about that - haha!

When my son was younger, I always got him the bug makers and the play doh sets (which my parents never got me either). <br /><br />I was young and creative, but I wouldn't have painted on the walls or press play doh into the rug. My parents were just too paranoid. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901684621715980573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-51245629497692541272013-12-26T08:24:06.892-06:002013-12-26T08:24:06.892-06:00I'm sorry Greg wasn't there with you.
