| Christmas Puppy Awesomeness |
Morning Y'all! The weekend is finally here. I have a wedding this weekend that I'm very much looking forward to (Wilson Phillips and Bieber have been promised by the bride). I also hope to get a head start on our family's Secret Santa gift exchange. We did it a couple years ago and it was so much fun! This year we used SneakySanta.com to draw names, since we couldn't all be together to actually draw names from a hat. It's great because you can include a wishlist with links to things you want. My youngest sister was all over that ;) We also have really involved rules, too. See here:
And you HAVE to follow them or you get the award for Grinch who stole Christmas, and we all live in fear of that title. We take pictures and make a book out of it and it makes for a great Christmas memory. I think it helps ease the pain of not having any kids who believe in Santa anymore. My youngest sister, Laura, let us believe she believed in Santa until she was 16, but once it became clear we weren't fooling anyone we had to find a way to bring back Christmas magic. Anyway, I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend! I included some links to some of the gift guides I came across that had things I would actually buy on them. Enjoy all these linkies with some spirited drinkies y'all!
