I'm helping my boys pay for their auto insurance, getting them each a nifty little jar to hold/save their change~it has a digital reader on top that tells how much has been put in the jar, and maybe some warm blankets and a stocking full of candy and gag gifts.

That jar sounds cool. You don't happen to have a link by any chance?

Got the grands a couple books (science/nature, cooking, match the sets) and am deciding whether or not to get a new Signing Times dvd too, as the entire set they had was lost in last year's fire.

Will probably send Jon and Kel homemade goodies baskets.....with some honey in it. :D

Nothing :D We don't "do" Christmas, but we are spending the holiday with family and plan to eat lots of good food, enjoy family and play a ton of games.

So, my son wrote his letter to Santa....He wants the stupid littlest pet shop armadillo (already bought it), dominoes (done-$3), Sorry game, bunny friends for Earwax and Fluffy (his toy bunnies), a fishing pole, "to marry Shelby" (my BF's DD), for his tooth to fall out, to grow a beard, a telescope (at hubby's prodding-think we'll skip that one), and a bass pro shop watch of some sort. Not too bad for a 5 yr old.

My 3 yr old DD's is Squinkies, a rapunzel doll, barbie fashion movie, barbie glitter clothing thingie (grandma got it and spent WAY too much money on it but it's her only gift), clothes-anything glittery and sparkly, dominos (found princess ones at Target for $5), and for Grandma C to move closer. I didn't think that was too bad.

I went all out on hubby this year. He usually just wants socks, underwear, jeans, and plain white t-shirts. Well, his momma got him that stuff this year and I got him a 10 inch Dewalt compound miter saw and a new tool box. He is a compulsive tool borrower and I was tired of it. He needs his own....it's been coming for a long time now. I figure I'll get some use out of it too.

I want money. I want to put it towards my nucs and beehives. I also want Beekeeping for Dummies and Nourishing Traditions. I'm easy.

The kids are getting stocking stuffers...new toothbrushes, flossers, pipecleaners, popsicle sticks, puzzles, paints, lipgloss for DD, and some other little stuff. I'm just over it.

The adults are getting a memory card with the "year in pictures" from the kids. They want prints they can do it themselves.

I'm trying not to do anything electronic again this year for the kids. My brother actually wants me to go buy 2 canvases and let my kids each paint him some art for his house...I thought that was pretty cool.

I wish we wouldn't "do" Christmas either....totally overrated, but hard to do with 2 little ones in the house.
