Ok, so it's hitting almost 85 degress here today. Unseasonably warm, and it's going to stay this way for several days. The kids got out of school yesterday and ALREADY my husband is wanting to give them their CHRISTmas presents early!!! WHAT??!! NO!!
"Well honey, if we give them to them now they will be able to play while it's still warm outside and they will get a whole extra week of playing while school is out!!"
It does make sense. But what about CHRISTmas morning? Are we just going to change the clocks and calendars around the house and convince the kids that CHRISTmas is already here???
I mean, who lets these kids out of school a whole week early? It would make more sense to let them go longer now and then start later in January so we can play with OUR toys longer!! Right?
So, decisions, decisions... What day is it?? Oh, look kids - it's CHRISTmas EVE!!!

This is funny, because one year for Christmas, we begged & begged to open presents early (we weren't gonna be home on Christmas Day anyway, visiting grandparents). So Mom gave in that year. She hurried up & wrapped everything & we opened presents. I think it was the 15th or around there, cuz we were still in school. :) I will tell you it was exciting to have everything early, but Christmas Day was such a letdown, even though we weren't at home. Don't give in!! Make it a special day.
