One of the cool things we did this year is we celebrated Christmas over Thanksgiving. We did our gift exchange. It was awesome from my stand point. Most of my Christmas shopping was finished at that point and most people were just starting. And as it has turned out - I am going to be needing surgery next week so having the bulk of Christmas done will be a blessing since I will be out of the loop. The kids all seemed to enjoy it, too. I think it helps stretch the gifts out for the kids. This way it isn't as overwhelming on Christmas when they normally have gift over load. From what I was hearing they suggest we do it again. The only difference I think I will make next time is I will NOT make turkey and all the fixings. Since we had our celebration on Friday everyone was pretty much turkeyed out. Next time I will make pancit and lumpia. At our house if Mom makes pancit and lumpia the family will show up. It is one tricky way to make sure they show up again. :-)
Here are a few of the pixs from our time together.
Be sure to check out the new adventure Dennis and I are involved with.
Have a wonderful day,
Charyl
