Day 4 & 5 2009

I’ve decided I probably won’t post every day at this stage as it’ll b a bit boring for everyone lol so will most likely just post weekly.

anywho, onto the last two days.

Yesterday I sat down and thought about past Christmas celebrations, what worked and what didn’t work.

Today, I started our master gift list. I’ve got ideas for most of the family. AND I’ve made a limit on how much we’ll be spending on each person (last year we went a little nuts). AND I’m gonna look at making more things this year

That’s one of my resolutions for next year – make more Christmas presents.

will post again on Sunday :)
