It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas...
Tuesday, December 23, 2008
So yes, it's Christmas Eve Eve and my house is going crazy. I am no where done getting ready for it. I have presents to wrap. I can't send the kids outside because it's -30C every day. I can't even handle going outside and with the wind it's so much colder.
And the presents...they are just sitting waiting for me to wrap them. I just never get an ounce of peace in the house to sneak off and wrap them. And in this small apartment where am I going to really sneak off to? May be the bathroom would be the only place that I could actually get away with it, to bad it's so tiny.. :)
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and gets to where they need to be safe and sound. And if you are having a delay at the airport you can write me a letter in the comments. Ha ha...

Getting Ready For Christmas...
Monday, December 15, 2008
This week is going to be so busy for me. I don't have my shopping done and I haven't wrapped not even one present yet. The kids are off on Friday for two weeks so I have to get going QUICK!
When I was growing up my mom and I were really into music. And our favourite song to sing? The 12 Days Of Christmas...Canadian style...so here is my most favourite Christmas song of all.

I wish everyone a Merry Merry Christmas...I hope Santa was good to all of you. As I sit here cooking my turkey and seeing what Santa left me I thought I would leave this with all of you!!
Did You Ever Wonder?
- Can you cry under water?
- How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
- If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?
- Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?
- Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
- Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
- Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
- What did cured ham actually have?
- How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Great Gift Ideas

Christmas Eve is a week away!! Have you got all your Christmas shopping done?? Still don't know what to get those certain people in your life??? Well here are some sites that can help you with that!
Gift Suggestions- NPR offers up some fine suggestions for holiday books and CDs this year. There are some good choices here, although those people on your gift list who read paperback novels with images of shirtless pirates clinging to model-quality housewives might not be too entertained.
Gifts Under $50- Real Simple has collected numerous gifts that cost under $50 - and this isn't your run-of-the-mill stuff you grab off the first aisle shelf either. There are a lot of original and creative gifts here that may help you break the Pocket Fisherman pattern you've established for yourself.
Gift List- There are some interesting items on the gift lists at kaboodle.com. And if you aren't into that whole giving thing as much as you're into the getting part, check out the gift list tool, which allows you to pick and choose items you'd like to see under the tree
Gift Wizard- Granted, the gift wizard at findgift.com isn't perfect, but it's a good place to start for people who literally have no idea about what to get for the people on their gift lists. There are some creative choices available once you narrow down your options.

A Mommy's Letter to Santa
Friday, December 14, 2007
I got this email in the mail this morning and I had to share.
Dear Santa,
I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor and sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years.
Here are my Christmas wishes: I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (in any color, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze, but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy aisle in the grocery store.
I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month of my last pregnancy. If you're hauling big ticket items this year I'd like fingerprint resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music, a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals, and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone.
On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, "Yes, Mommy" to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools.
I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting "Don't eat in the living room" and "Take your hands off your brother," because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog.
If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container.
If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely. It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized crime family.
Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is calling and my son saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think he wants his crayon back. Have a safe trip and remember to leav e your wet boots by the door and come in and dry off so you don't catch cold. Help yourself to cookies on the table but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet.
Yours Always, MOM...
P.S. One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children young enough to believe in Santa.
A great new site I found!
Sunday, December 9, 2007
I think that sometimes at Christmas people are wondering if they have been regifted. I don't think I am....but there is this cool site that people tell their stories about being regifted. Regiftable.com tells those stories and you can even win for the greatest stories you tell. Here is an example....
Christmas gift time at a family member's home can be filled with regifted items. She thinks no one is on to her regifting. The last gift she gave me was a severing dish holder without the dish. When I opened the gift and looked at it, I knew it was the gift that I had purchased for her and had given her several years before. When I said there is no dish with the holder, her reply was, "It was in there when I wrapped the box". The box was the same box that held the dish and holder when I gave it to her. This was not the first time that she gave me a regifted item, set of Christmas glasses with one missing, a set of bath towels with the towel missing. She always says that all pieces were in the box when she wrapped and doesn't know what happen. Amazing how items get out of a wrapped box.I don't mind regifted gifts, as long as all of the pieces are there. -by Ann H. From: Lawrenceville, GASo check it out.....
