So how are we all doing for christmas thus far??? Next week is the big week!!!

__________________

I really really can't wait There are couple of reasons:

First I think the kids will be into it. I think Elijah will really enjoy Christmas this year. He understands what is going on and hopefully he will be into opening his gifts. Last year he was too sick. Poor kid took all day to open his gifts, he just didn't feel like it. Even though Emma is still young she catches on quicker then Elijah did She may not understand what is going on, but she will be totally into opening her gifts.

Second, I have off from the 23rd to January 3rd! Woo hoo I am so excited for some time off. I can't wait.

Then there are all the other things that go along with Christmas, family, food, fun, gifts. Yeah Baby

LOL You are sooo right! I wish I had all of those days off!! But I have Christmas Eve off and I have ney year's eve off so I can't complain. Anyways I am glad that you little man will be well this Christmas! Elise is really into it to as well so it will be more fun but I think it will all come together nicely!!!!! So keep me posted!! This board has to WAKE UP!!!!!

Uhm i really dont know
99% we will spend it with our family, so all we have to do is to cook or bake something and bring it with us. We wont have a tree this year but we will have some decorations (rooms plus window lights) and i want to make some decorations with tina (to keep her busy LOL)
Oh and beacuse she is the youngest in our family she will be giving gifts to people I'm sure she will love it!

I am looking forward to Christmas as well...
Although Mimi keeps seeing stuff on TV that she wants! LOL And that she won't get LOL

I will more than likely be working over Xmas and the New year at the Casino... but I didn't get my schedule yet... so I am curious as to what my hours will be. It will be really weird working on these days but I have to think of the $$$ I'll be making LOL

We will be going to Jamaica in April... so DH and I won't be giving each other any big gifts (not to mention we bought a threadmill a month ago)

Arghh Tv comercials + Christmas + kids give me a headache

Wow Renee, Jamaica?? Thats is a perfect gift! I'm sure you will enjoy it
How do you like your new job at the casino?

I like the job at the Casino... its only 12 hrs a week but its perfect for me since I still have to take care of my dry cleaner.
I Will be working more over Christmas wekk more than likely... but we only get our schedule on Friday for the following week so I have no idea which days I'l actually work.

As for Jamaica I just can't wait... I've only been there once back in 1998 when Dh's grandma passed away for the burial (she wanted to be burried by her DH)

MIL has a house near Montego Bay so thats where we are going. MIL will be going and so will my parents... it should be fun!
