"Mummy, I wrote a letter to Santa today"
"Oh, did you?"
"Yes, Mummy. I have asked him for a Nintendo DS."
"Ohhhhh. Well I'm not sure that Santa will think that a Nintendo DS is a good thing for a little girl to have"
"Well, Mummy it is not up to you. It's between Santa and me and I am not talking to you about it anymore."
OUCH!!
We are working hard to unplug the Christmas machine but I am really happy to say that our house looks like a serious Christmas throw up! We put our tree up today (artificial so I do not have the tension of chopping down something that is living and breathing altho I love a real tree.) and so much junky good stuff. We have the Santa Homer, it is a big favourite. We have the singing reindeer, the whole orchestra of Carol singing animals and so much more. The kids had an enormous time.
We have not yet bought any presents yet. We will be shopping soon. We have trimmed our lists and cut our budgets and we feel good about that. We plan to spend some serious time enjoying the whole Christmas season. And today, please do not tell anyone, we did not go the the school Christmas Fayre. I just figured that it would be spending money on other peoples junk which would become ours in order to give money to a school which is already so well supported. I loved staying at home and spending the time with the kids, just us.

No we cannot blame Mikey on this one!! Peers, what can I say.
We actually discovered two fibre optics in our attic this year. We forgot that we had inherited one from the Statons that we had meant to pass on! At this point we do not have them up. We could possibly put one in each bedroom......... .
i think hanging them from the ceiling over the dining table is a good option to consider...
