I wanted to enjoy it longer especially when the stresses were not so bad. I usually did it the weekend after New Year’s Day for the same reasons as listed above.

I am planning on the tree coming down that day, along with some other things that must happen before the weekend is done, so stashing stuff is going to happen... hey, have you seen my snow brush??

When being together is enough, and gifts are bonus.. a sadness when Christmas joys cannot be put in the cart at TOYS R US, but a smile when the NERF gun the youngest gets must be passed around and tried out by all..

I know how much time and $$ went into my homemade and I hope efforts are appreciated and bring some joy. I'd be happy for what I made. Still bunches of wrapping around a crazy schedule and I'm thinking I'm heading to Walmart tonight after my ballgame to get ingredients for what I need to take places for the next few days. Hubby said "We need a serious trip to the grocery store". I KNOW, but who wants to take the time?? and it's cold and we have 15 more stops before we get home... tonight sounds like a plan.

This year we didn't spend a single dime on a credit card and I gotta say it feels fantastic! Knowing that what I was able to give I give with all the love in my heart...I actually feel guilty that not enough of my gifts this year were handmade! Handmade says many things...cheapskate is NOT one of them. I can't imagine a more loving, thoughtful gift than that of a handmade quilt. You have so many amazing gifts and they all show in your house and under your tree! :) I hear ya! This year we didn’t spend a single dime on a credit card and I gotta say it feels fantastic!
