Are You Over-Booked, Over-Stressed & Out of Christmas JOY? The Christmas Coach is Here to Help!
Christmas at my Grandmother's
Well for the first time in over 14 years I am at my grandmother's for Christmas Eve. As a little girl my mother brought me to my grandmother's house every Christmas eve. Then we went home to celebrate Christmas day at our home then I would fly out to see my father the day after Christmas (sometimes on Christmas night). So traveling at Christmas is something I am used to. This is the biggest side of my family that I purchase gifts for. Here is who I am giving to:
Grandmother
Breadmaker (joint gift with my aunt)
Washclothes
Kitchen Spoons
Yeast and flour to go with breadmaker
Stocking filled with items
A framed picture of her as a teenager

I think that is it! That is 42 gifts for this one place! I may have missed something - will let you know later if I did. I will also report back and let everyone know how much I spent on all of this. If you have a guess - leave a comment with the amount you think I spent - I will be honest and I will send the person closest to the correct amount a Christmas Organizing packet!
Oh and I already know what I am giving everyone next year - Scarves with embordiery on them! Read about that in the another post - under the Christmas 2006 section of my blog later on.
