This year A is aware of all holidays celebrations so we are trying to do everything the proper way. I wanted to celebrate Xmas since A was few months old but didn’t. And now since A is equally excited I look forward to festivals & other holiday celebrations.I got fake tree the year A was born so spend 2 hr. to find it;-) It’s a small one that comes with everything so I put it few days’ back. A & Gudiya helped me, A by putting the ornaments on the tree & Gudiya by putting them in her mouth. With their help I was done in 20 minutes;-)
I wanted to get 1-2 toys for each but A start counting how many things he wanted from Santa. It started with nothing, then 2 candies & lollipops, then lots of candy & lollipops then lots of toys, candies & lollipops then he added coconut in the list too;-) With his growing list I started collecting things a month back.
During A’s time we got every toy for him that we liked but during Gudiya I swear not to buy anything expensive cuz we already out of the room to put them & we have most of good toys anyway. She never showed interest in toys so never felt guilty about not buying her stuff like A.So this time too I decided to get more but less expensive toys than just one expensive one. Went to couple of stores and got few good things on clearance. Then bought few games & puzzles. I made sure to get something that they will be using it often. It worked out great. They were happy opening up all the gifts & we were happy to get stuff we were gonna buy for them anyway;-) Everything cost less than what we would’ve spent on 2 toys for them;-)
I got hubby a jacket & tried to hide it but he guessed it that it was something for him ;-) He waited till y’day morning to see it though:-) He wanted to get something for me (I think because I got for him and he thought of too, but he said he was gonna buy for me anyway;-) On Xmas eve he went out and got a jacket for me too;-) I already have lots of perfume & jewelry set so he couldn’t think of anything else;-) He said he was gonna get something sexy but lots of girls were in THAT section so he didn’t go there..LOL!!
We wrapped the gifts till 1:30 in the morning cuz I didn’t want kids to see it and A slept around 11:30. It was so much fun.. I wrapped few things then I cut the paper & he wrapped them.. We watched KANK while getting the gifts ready.. I love to spend time like that:-) Oh & when I fell asleep he went downstairs to get my present & put it near the tree ;-)

Tara: I loved it too;-)Yeah, they are spending time there and the proof is my 2 post in a day & replies to comments..LOL!!
Take it easy for few more weeks cuz next year you will be very busy.. It hardly a month left now:-)
MO2,
Vow! I know you already read my christmas story but I think we are having more fun than the kids themselves, right?? I started doing everythign for my A and guess what? ended up getting a gift form hubby too.... and oh! i bought A that ikea tent a couple of yrs back....it's fun when it is assembled but a pain to reassemble, so if u have enough space just leave it that way. As usual, adorable pictures!
Someday when we bump into each other, I am sure I'll recognize you if you hav both your kids by your side. ;-) BTW, where exactly do you live?
Visiting after a while...Was good to see the happy kids pics! I think for the sake of children it is nice to celebrate all the local festivals also. In India we had a continous celebration of festivals throughout the year. Here kids don't get that...last year when my son was only 4 months old I put up a little X-mas tree with lights and had remote controlled carol toys playing music - my MIL was alive and was with us then - they enjoyed it so much - we used to tease them about it. Didn't up a tree this year because my son is into pulling on wires and putting it around his neck and what not.
Have a very happy new year!
