I guess I didn't realize how many people I bought gifts for. I had a Christmas party last night for friends, and bought each one of them a small gift. They couldn't believe how many gifts were under my tree. We technically have three families to buy for-
Xmas eve night is his mom, stepdad, sister and her boyfriend, stepsister, and stepbrother. Christmas morn is my dad, stepmom, step and half sisters, grandma, and aunt. Christmas night is my mom, stepdad, sister, sister, niece, aunt, and other grandma. Then we have gifts for eachother, gifts for the cats (only one, but it is the biggest one under there), a gift I need to mail to my friend in Boston, and we still need to buy a gift to mail to his grandma. I didn't realize that that was a lot of people until last night.
I also like to get a lot of little things instead of one big thing for each person. I guess I still like the idea of a big haul.
If you want to get into the really pathetic, we actually have two trees- one of them has all the gifts for Christmas eve night under them so that we don't have to dig for them before we leave and are sure not to miss anything.
Medusa, I love homemade gifts! Unfortunatley I was not able to do any baking so far this year. Even more unfortunate is the fact that I was not able to make myself a bath gift set this year. It may be selfish, but I like to get a couple of things for myself and wrap them under the tree, too. Santa got me a nice loofah this year.
