It is about 8 days before Christmas and I am DONE!!! I'm listening to "The Nutcracker" performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and I just finished wrapping. This is the earliest I have ever been done with my Christmas shopping.
I do feel like I am cheating alittle though. Erik and I are pretty darn broke (what's new) and we aren't getting each other anything. We are only concerned with making the holiday magical for the girls. Even though they are old enough and they know that Christmas isn't all about the presents and who spends more. But its about the birth of our Savior and its about being with family.
This will be the first year in 5 that I will actually spend Christmas day with them and I am excited... They will only be here for 4 days but I think we will have a good time.
This Christmas will be hard for Erik and I, just because we are so far from our families for the first time.
