[QUOTE="Andy, post: 329093, member: 5096"] My darlings did well. We had Diva's boyfriend over for gift opening. We decided he had more gifts under our tree than each of us had from Santa so he may as well join in that part of the day. For us, Santa wraps each of our gifts in our own wrapping paper. The stockings are laid out along the couch and all gifts are distributed with the stocking. Usually one large "main" gift for each and a few smaller ones to put in the stocking. I forgot to have Santa give me a main gift this year! LOL Oh well, I have gotten enough things this past two months with my curtains and bathroom. And since I coordinate Santa gifts, I have only myself to blame. I wonder if the kids have figured out why I always get what I want from Santa? I am enjoying another year of being able to sleep in on Christmas morning. Even difficult child is old enough to be patient and wait. I really love the stocking plan of letting them enjoy their own stocking before the house wakes up - wish I would have used that when the kids were younger. I made Diva help with the meal. It was very simple but the meatballs and green bean dishes took only 15 minutes in the stove so didn't give me hardly any time to get everything else set to put on the table. difficult child was playing Wii and X-Box with Diva's boyfriend otherwise I am sure he would have liked to help. husband mashed the potatoes as always. difficult child shoveled snow - paths to each of our neighbor homes and our sidewalk this morning. (he had already done so yesterday plus shoveled snow off our deck - ALL of his own doing - we had not said a word to him about this). Tonight difficult child is very tired at 8:30. He said he feels so tired lately. I think it is from all the shoveling he has been doing. Out of school schedule is also different from in-school schedule so that throws kid's bodies off during long vacations. Diva received an Expresso maker and difficult child a Wii game plus a few small stocking stuffers for each of them. No candy in the stockings this year and husband was the only one to notice. Puppy would have torn apart the stockings if there were any plus we still had more than enough chocolates and treats that no one seems to be eating. Christmas candy seems to be more of a tradition than a wish in our home. Very seldom do we get it and very seldom do the kids ask for it. [/QUOTE]
