Ok so far the kids have opened 5 gifts from each other... They have gotten Tommy 20 guns (by Nerf that shoots annoying yellow foam darts), a slinky, silly string, remote control cars, a new headset for the xbox 360, a new game and deodarant. It has been fun watching them get excited about it and they have actually played with the toys they have gotten. We only have a few people left to buy for and have gotten a lot of the wrapping done with (which is unusual because usually I wait til the 23rd)! I think we will try and wrap it up today with shopping and enjoy the next few days peacefully.
The post office says today is the last shipping day to make it by Christmas so the orders should slow down. It will be a nice break. The Christmas cards went out today. Another thing checked off the list...
For Hollie (our mail carrier) we have done the 12 days of Christmas for years. This year we are doing baked goods so I am off to bake another batch of cookies... The kids are happy that is what we decided because they love taste-testing all the goods...
