Christmas time is here!!

I am so glad that my kids are still too young to care about counting down the days til Christmas. I feel rushed enough without paper chains taunting me and millions of questions a day asking how many more days. In fact, Ryan made it perfectly clear to the girl cutting his hair that he did not want her talking about Santa or Christmas lists, when he threatened to poke her to death with the cactus he is hoping to get. Yes, my three year old wants a cactus and, yes he threatens people's lives with it...bless his heart.
Of course, I know how many days there are until Christmas, because that means there is one less day than that until my big shopping day. Yep, I do most of my Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. How sad, right? Wrong. It is a little chaotic, but when isn't my life? With three small kids chaos rules my day, so I feel right at home at the overcrowded mall with no personal space. I think I like shopping this way because it forces me to get it done. There is no longer anytime to put it off or look for myself. I save money this way!! That's a plus! Lol.
This year I am actually ahead of the game. I have one child completely done and one child partially done. Only about 15 more people to go...woohoo!!!!
So, this Christmas Eve as your all making Christmas cookies and wrapping presents think of me running around the mall, knocking people over with my double stroller and trying to find that almost perfect gift that has already been pawed by millions of people.
