Gifts - are we being cheap?

Linda, we call that game "Dirty Santa". Everyone that brought a gift takes a number. The first person unwraps that gift.....then the second person can either open another gift or take the gift away from the first person. We play where the gift can only be traded 3 times before it stays with that person. The next person can either open a gift or steal from one of the others.......and the person that had their gift stolen can either open a gift or steal a gift. The game continues until the last number......then the first person can either keep their gift or steal someone else's gift.....then the game is done. It's a very fun game!! Also you hide your gift behind you and the person that's stealing has to remember who has the gift in order to steal it. It's fun to play with a large group of people as long as it's not a REALLY large group!!!

It's going to be all cash gifts this year. The kids know what they want, and I think they enjoy shopping for themselves. Kass wants One Direction dolls. At $29.99 each, and there are five members of the band , I think that is a waste of money. I will talk to Jessie and, if she says to buy it, I will. I don't want too though!

Kass still believes in Santa so we keep that going. Actually, so does Brandon. They kept telling Jess that if she doesn't buy them what they want for Christmas, Santa will! She informed them that it doesn't work that way! Santa does not give children presents their parents don't want them to have!

I haven't put my tree up yet, and may not bother unless the kids come over. The wreath should already be on the door! I'll take it down today.
