Hi everyone! Happy holiday season! Welcome to the time of the year where money actually flies out your a*s. This is the first year in a while that we have actually been able to spend a little money on the girls. Now that my hubby is out of school and employed full-time I have planned what I think is going to be a fantastic Christmas. Now, I don't consider the amount of presents the judge of what makes a "fantastic" day. As a matter of fact, I am quite against getting a child loads of presents and everything on their list. A few choice gifts that you know they will love is really enough to create a magical holiday feel. What did we get the girls this year? Well, since they have all the Woobee's they could possibly want, we chose some wonderful toys. My in-laws always send me a check to buy presents with which I love. So, Santa is bringing the girls a Plan Toys Chalet Dollhouse w/ some furntiure. They can move the floor plan around or seperate it in times of crisis - I love its modern feel. Lola is getting a rolling backpack (very small) with a bear on the front that can be strapped in. She saw it at the store and fell in love! Ava is getting a set of 3 wigs that she has been dreaming about for the last 6 months. Lola is also getting a Plan Toy activity bus and Ava is getting a dragon/dinosaur costume that is awesome from Magic Cabin. I also ordered stocking stuffers like felt animals, color pencils that look like twigs, and a few other little things from Sonya's Toy Garden. I bought all Lola's presents and Plan Toy gifts at a local favorite Urban Kids Play (and they sell Woobee's) and they also had a great book for drawing people that Ava will totally dig.
GHTA Tip of the Post: Creating a design (plan) for a request allows the person to deliver the expected outcome. If you do not give them a design, they will fill it in themselves and it may not be what you are looking for. A design should be replicable.

I for one understand that the holiday's are more about the memories than the souvenirs. They're are gifts the whole family can share and the kids will remember fondly. You guys remember the old holiday classics: RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER, FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, OR SANTA’S COMING TO TOWN, just to name a few.
I decided this holiday season to work with a company that promotes that jolly warm holiday feeling. You can get a compilation package of these movies and more holiday classics including a bonus music cd to start the holiday off right. You can order directly at http://www.christmasclassics.tv or find this special limited edition set any where dvds are sold.
Excellent holiday idea Bethany. You are so right about creating wonderful memories with your family vs. the items they receive. Thanks for sharing you idea!
