Love this idea!! But I had already purchased, and had wrapped almost all my gifts, by the time I read it. There’s always next year!
I did kinda combine #2, & #3, without even knowing about this, tho! I bought several sets of clothes for the girls, including their Christmas dresses. Well, in PPJr’s case, a “dress” is not exactly accurate. It’s a top, and leggings. Perhaps, I should say “outfits” instead. And of course, forgot to take pix! Maybe I can sneak one, without showing their faces??? We’ll see!
And some Pj’s too. I love to see littles in cute pj’s!! I just wish I had found some matching ones!!
I did find matching shirts, but forgot to take pix. Maybe I can grab one of those too tomorrow. (I’m writing this late Christmas Eve.)
#1, the toys I bought- I’m sure they’ll want them when they see them!! They’re too little to turn loose with a catalog! Well, I’m sure PP would have had a fine time marking one up! But Mommy, and I both are trying to teach her not to be materialistic, so that would kinda defeat that goal.
#4- Wow! I can NOT believe I didn’t buy them any books! (Probably because Beall’s doesn’t carry them! It’s Florida’s store, but apparently we don’t need to read.) Next year fer SURE! Wonder if PP would notice if I just wrapped a few that she hasn’t read in a while????
I need to get some sleep, so I’ll be bright eyed, and bushy tailed for church tomorrow!!
Then “PWESENTS!!! YAY!!
Melinda/Lucy,
I just found out you are also called Lucy and that seems a sort of cosier name to call you by, if you don’t mind.
I like the idea of teaching children not to be materialistic and also giving them books to read. I love to read of all you do for the little PPs. Grandparents need to be in the lives of grandchildren. I am not at all for nuclear families and wish we were all back in the times of joint families. The familial bonds would be so much closer.

Susie, no problem! that is Clare’s pet name for me. But I’m sure she won’t mind!
Awww, thank you! Sometimes I worry that I’m bragging too much on myself. But, the good is part of my life too, as well as the bad.
Do you live with extended family? I have at times. It’s more of a challenge, but I loved it.

I have never. My parents lived nuclear and now after marriage, my husband and I live nuclear too.

I like that plan too! It can be hard to choose reading material for other people, but that’s what gift certificates are for!

My sister talked me into getting matching PJs for the entire family this year. She had picked out a particular brand from a specific company. Fine, I ordered the pajamas for our entire family. I waited and I waited. And finally got an email to expect them…January 6th! And then the scam of a company claimed it was too late to cancel the order. My sister told me the same thing happened to her. I’ll never do that again!

Oh no!! So sorry to hear you got scammed! I know companies are out there, cuz my friend ordered matching one for her husband, their infant twins, and herself.

Ironically they sent me an email yesterday asking if I wanted to wait or wanted a refund. Refund I said! And then they sent me…25% of what I paid for them. This story is getting sadder.
