Christmas is nearing and the holiday shopping is in full swing. Lauren and I hit up Kohl's this morning. I went is simply looking for a coat for my husband. I left with a lot of items, but not a coat for my husband, one for my oldest daughter, which doesn’t even need one. I am a BIG online shopper. I love getting the boxes in the mail – it is like a mini Christmas for me. I actually apologized to our mailman today for all my boxes. I drop a lot of boxes off to the post office for ETSY, the mail lady there said I should have my own delivery truck
I have to say Christmas is my all-time favorite. I love seeing my children excited from one to fifteen. I struggle to fall asleep still on Christmas eve. I am so filled with adrenal, I am usually up first I love seeing their faces on Christmas morning and watching them open their presents. It is the one major time I spoil them, other than that I “try” to be frugal throughout the year, but Christmas the rules go out the window.
In our surrounding family we all have the understanding the we don’t “buy: gifts, rather spend time together eating, talking, laughing, and visiting. My husband and I don’t exchange gifts either. And I make my father-in law’s present and our great friend “Grammie Kath’s” gift too. So, we just buy for our children and I love it that way. Abby is almost 15! She no longer is a believer, but the best big sister ever. She is now in charge of the elves. This is her second year and I couldn’t be more thrilled that she has taken on the job!
I would have never anticipated that my ETSY shop would have been as crazy as it has been. I am truly blessed. Click here to visit The Rita Pita Boutique...
