[TLV]

thats it really

my dd will be 18mths and i'm already planning what prezzies to buy her, i'm a SAHM but have taken a xmas temp job just to get cash for xmas, hours are a little crap but i'm thinking of her face xmas morning when she sees her toys

joelallie, i'm getting an extension and i'm not sure what our place will be like come xmas, got the lounge decorated a couple of weeks back so that will do for me

I'm excited too, not for me but for the kids, and i love searching for the presents that they will love. More so this year as my dd is 3 and ds is 7(but he has kinda worked out that santa doesn't exsist anymore)

I love xmas! I love buying pressies for people and decorating the tree.
I love it so much im having a christmas wedding next year!!

But it will always be a hard time too since my niece died, we are a very close family who always have christmas together.

I am too
By Christmas (all going to plan) I will have a new baby boy, and it'll be dd's second Christmas and she'll be old enough to appreciate unpacking her stocking, getting loads of attention from grandparents etc.
And I'll be bf and able to eat vast amounts of my mother's cooking.

No. I am too. That is when I let myself be. House needs redecorating before then as it is suffering from effects of 2 years of building work, and 3 unfettered kids . Don't feel any desire to make it look christmassy when it looks like cack underneath. So when that's done I shall allow myself to get excited.

ooops, killed it

[AnguaVonUberwald]

hmmm, have to admit, thinking more about how to manage the whole family thing, than actual exitment! (and all the presents that have to be bought)

[LittleScarer]

Maybe.

But you aren't alone!
