You know, the day before Christmas Eve!

Our budget has been a bit tighter than usual this year, so several of the kids’ presents were homemade by yours truly.  What’s even more amazing, they turned out pretty good.  My personal favorite may be a stack of wash cloths for our son that were personalized so they wouldn’t be stolen by other family members, which is what usually happens.  I had a good time stretching my artistic skills to come up with something cool for all twelve of them, and even did a garfield cartoon of my own creation.

The downside of all this fun and games is that I’m really excited for Christmas to come and the kids to open their gifts.  So, of course these last couple days have taken forever and it feels as if Christmas will never come.  Good thing we don’t do this most years–I’m not sure I could stand all the suspense!

Hope you all have a good Christmas!  I’ll be posting this weekend sometime, but no promises when.  Let the holidays begin!
