Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 I think I did something wrong. It is MY house everyone comes to at Christmas, so *I* get all the mess!!!! When my kids were young, I didn¹t want to make them leave the house and all their new treasures, so everyone came here. Mom Mom and Pop Pop came as soon as we got up and would come watch the kids open the presents even if it was 5 in the morning! I don¹t miss those early Christmas¹ but I sure miss having young kids. Enjoy your toddler now Anne. There are the best years of Christmas. It sounds like you are going to have a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas to you too. a > > > > [ ] JIC: Merry Xmas! > > >> > Hello everyone. You may not remember me? I posted a month or so back >> > a few times.
