Every morning when we wake up, there are another dozen gifts under the tree from Joel. It's probably mostly random stuff he's been selecting to wrap in the wee hours, because I know he hasn't been to a store. I bought a 30-bow bag and 50 name tags a couple of days ago, when I noticed that our wrapping supplies were being eaten in the night, and those were all gone again today.
I finally asked both boys yesterday to make lists of who to give gifts to and keep them safe from wandering eyes and to make sure that they don't forget anyone. Then I took them to the dollar store armed each with a $20 bill. At one point when we were at the store I asked Joel how many gifts he was getting his cousin, because it sounded to me like he had already gotten 2 or 3 things for her. He said that he had 11 so far! Now they both have even more little gifts to wrap.
We're all having a blast with it.
About the tree: I'm sure you can understand why the tree is loaded with decorations from 4 1/2ft and down. But I have no idea how that gingerbread made it up to the top. I don't really want to know. I'm just enjoying the fact that someone thought it needed a place of prominence.
Merry Christmas to all!
