Well, I am almost done with my Christmas shopping...phew!  Now comes my most favorite part...wrapping them all (it really is my favorite part, I promise).  I love to put on Christmas music and do all of the wrapping, not that I am a phenomenal present wrapper or anything it just gets me in the Christmas spirit and ready to see our kids faces on Christmas morning.

We have enjoyed hearing about your families traditions. It has given our family some new things to try this year.  A few of them include:  making reindeer food and sprinkle it outside for the reindeer to eat.  We are going to open one present on Christmas Eve - new Christmas pajamas. We are going to bring some holiday cheer on Christmas  to a local assisted living home here in the area too .

We are looking for nominations for our Mom of the Year.  We are here to support local Moms who are making a difference in our community.  Submit your entries by Jan 20th and we will feature one of our deserving Moms in the Jan 27th newsletter.

Check out our new contest too!!

All the best, always.
