christmas , wow it is coming up, i dont know what im doing, i dont think im putting a tree up, i dont even know where our tree is actually haha. But i wanna do a birthday party for jordynne, tinkerbell of course! maybe that will be my xmas celebration, i have no clue what to get the kids, they have soooo many toys and clothes, so im lost. i started xmas shopping early last year just in case i went into labor or wasnt able to shop the later in my pregnancy i got. i think i was done by october! this xmas will be different with no hubby, no xmas dinner either i doubt. No point in making tons of food for just me and joseph , unless jasons single buddies that are here wanna come over and eat or something then i might do something.

aw that's sad diane. i wish i could invite you over to mine. we're just having a small christmas with me,robbie, kids, my mum and sister. neil is welcome to come unless he wants to spend it with his girlfriend

yea, it will almost be like a normal day, if i fidn the tree i might put it up im not sure yet, joseph likes to touch it and mess with it and stuff, i might have to buy new decorations im sure too, they sorta well joseph messed them up last yr and broke a few

i'm going to get a new tree cause that fibre optic one we had last year just didn't do it for me. i want a traditional christmas tree but still artificial.

ya i got a short tree, it might be in the basement or the garage, i dont know where jason put it. but this year im nto putting presents under it till xmas day, joseph kept opening them last year.

i'm going to put them under early christmas morning and pretend santa did it

yours are old enought o know santa? i dunno ifjoseph will understand santa, maybeif he starts talking more befoer xmas and stuff. but jordynnes still to little, is till write from santa on all of them haha.

I don't even want to think about Christmas. It's not going to be the same now that I have no parents and no grandparents. I think If we do anything at all this year it will be really lowkey and just so we don't spoil it for Chu.

oh no i feel really bad now. i'm sorry i made post about it.

layla kind of knows about santa. not to the full extent though. logan doesn't have a clue but it'll still be nice

sorry again to all those who have lost loved ones. i know that it will probably be a low moment for me aswell cause i will be thinking of how my daughter should be celebrating too

yeah all of our xmases arent so exciting it seems like. next year though i hope to havea really good christmas thuogh when jasons back and jordynne will be turning 2 and joseph will be 3

Don't feel bad! I'm not fussed. I just have no Christmas spirit. Maybe I'm turning into Scrooge!

i havent had a real xmas lately, last year on christmas day i was in the hospital pushing out my daughter, so we did christmas on the 17th the day i got home, i got home around 1pm and we got the presents out and cooked a christmas dinner and stuff, my husbands friend was over too. so it was a small little christmas 2 days after christmas, so it wasnt quite the same. they were more exciting when i was a kid it seems lol. maybe when the kids are old enough to understand christmas it will be alot more exciting.

Is it ever really exciting once you're an adult? I just get mad that I always end up having to buy more presents than I budgeted for.

I'm actually really excited about Christmas this year. Though Jaylon will only be 9 months, it will be a totally new experience for him. As he gets older it will be something to look forward to instead of something to dread. He has really brought the life back to my entire family. I'm sure after he pulls the tree down 22 times I will be a crazed lunatic. lol

Once Brianna didn't believe in Santa anymore and my nephews moved on to their lives Christmas just lost it's point to me. Then it became a chore instead of a fun time. It was so money based. Man, that sounds terrible. I honestly can't wait, and I have not said that in 5-6 years.

I bought a bunch of toys for Jaylon on Amazon during the toy sale. I have done some shopping for Mike's daughter. I have to wait on Brianna because she will peek and who knows what she'll be into by December. I'm thinking of getting her a nice pair of diamond earrings.

i need help with ideas, i dunno what to buy the kids, i really dont, they have lots of clothes and toys already, whats really left? jjoseph got a bike for his birthday already but i do need to start lookin for things for jordynnes room though actually.

I'm ready bring it on i'm one of those crazy people how is done shopping WAY early. I already have both my father and my father-in-laws gifts and Mark and I have our gifts for eachother already! Now just the mom's and the 3 siblings and i'm done.

Hmm, the bad new about Christmas: I'm gonna be a poor college kid that has to choose between Christmas presents and dinner. Choices.

The good news: I'm an art major and there's a Wal-Mart right down the street. Hello arts and crafts section! Homemade presents for everyone this year.

I haven't thought about Christmas much. I'm due on Christmas so all i can think about is my baby! lol But i haven't started shopping yet. Just finished getting school shopping done for the little lady. I don't know if i'm going to be buying much for others this time around with the new baby and stuff. Moneys tight as it is.. everyone will understand though.
