Bought something for Christmas and I'm excited!!

[PigsawJuzzle]

I'm so excited. My three are all late teens / early 20s but we all still get excited for Christmas. Funnily enough, just yesterday, youngest was saying that her favourite thing about stockings is that there's always something they all three get the same - when they were little it would be three versions of a toy. Last year they all got matching mugs and personalised cereal bowls.

Well.

I just recieved a parcel with three sports jerseys for their favourite team. Omg. They're going to be blown away. I'm so excited.

They know money is tight and they won't dream I've managed this. They're such great kids. The idea of them all gleefully wearing the same shirt is making me smile.

That is so lovely!

Well done, OP, how exciting! 🥰 I love it when you know you’ve found something they’re really going to enjoy. Roll on Christmas Day!

Unless of course it's Man City!

That’s nice. Mine are still young but I can’t get in the mood this year at all. I’m due to have surgery before December, money is too tight, my DH is working Xmas day and my parents are coming but they are now at an age where they aren’t much practical help

@PigsawJuzzle that is lovely! Love the sound of you and your kids’ enthusiasm. Hope you have a great Christmas x

Awww that's lovely!! I'm stupidly excited about a lifesized cardboard cut out of Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance, payed £49 for it!!!). DD12 is going to be over the moon with it! It's such a lovely feeling of giddiness isn't it? Enjoy!

Ha ha ha it's not!!

That all sounds tough. I hope your surgery goes well.

Ha!! A lifesize cardboard cutout of Gérard Way is EXACTLY the sort of nonsense that makes Christmas brilliant. Love it.

I got a life size cut out of David Beckham one year and Cliff Richard the next. Best gifts ever and very outing if you know me!

They will love that, and isn’t it nice when you get that feeling as a parent, when your joy, is in anticipation of theirs.

I’ve bought 3 things, a Lego set and a vintage town sign for my son, both he will love, and concert tickets for my husband. I’ve got the joy feeling also

You are an amazing mother. Have an fabulous Xmas.

Well done!

I love that feeling when you know you’ve found something they’ll love. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas x
