I love buying gifts for everyone. Its my favorite thing to do....finding just the right thing they will love!!! During Christmas one of my favorite things is seeing my sons face when he walks downstairs to the tree. We NEVER put anything out until the Christmas Eve. He still believes in Santa and we take great strides to keep it that way. I probably only have 1 year left of it. I guess I just LOVE the magic of the whole thing.

My hubby and I do black friday...we do save a bit and it is fun to add up the savings when we get home. But really we just have fun doing it. We have so many crazy stories when it is all over. It truly is quite the crack up...ppl are so serious about it.

I do have to say..my son is an only child and he is very spoiled!! But with that being said...I was an only child and very spoiled. I think that you can spoil your children but teach them NOT to expect everything and to have good citizenship, and lastly...appreciate everything that you have and that you are blessed to have those things. You can loose everything and that is ok...as long as you have love and each other. We regularly donate and help out others so that he learns...(which is hard to teach kids) that some don't have anything....not even a book.

Ok...wow...I just wrote a book..sorry
