I can't believe it's Christmas thread time already! We just booked our free Disney dining Halloween
trip for Oct and can't wait for the party!
Changing gears......I have gotten a good start on Christmas gift shopping, however. My husband's family is very small and we do not have a very good relationship with them (they don't even give gifts to he and I) but they do buy gifts for our children. So what I have learned, is that it's fun to let the kids pick out gifts for all of them (MIL, FIL, BIL and SIL) and help wrap them up. They like to get things while we travel so the gifts will be unique. Found an "uncle" fishing bucket, and plush bath robe and accessories for MIL so far. Maybe we'll find something in Florida in Oct for the other 2!
Almost done with my side of the family except I'm in charge this year of our parent's group gift and can't decide what I'd like to do.
Thought about new curtains for their living room (Dad keeps hinting he wants some), a personalized photo family quilt, or gift cards for hotel and airfare for travel(now that my youngest brother is married and everyone has FINALLY moved out, they want to get away a lot). I have 7 siblings and there are 29 people total in my immediate family. Each year one person is in charge of organizing the gift. Does anyone have any unique gift ideas for newly empty nesters?????
I can smell the peppermint and evergreen in the air, and hear the Christmas music already!
