i absolutely hate christmas shopping!! and i think it is so sad that so many places and people have turned it into such a commercialized holiday:( i try so hard to teach my children that christmas is NOT about toys and santa and lil elves, but everytime they turn around what do they see?!? but ill just continue talkin til some of what i say sinks in and hopefully they will get the right message…and appreciate that much more the gifts they do receive
