Hi.., It's already September and I am starting to save some amount for me to be able to buy each of 6 siblings their Christmas presents and for my parents too.., I know money is not easy to earn nowadays.., but the harder I earn the money the better will I feel in giving those presents..=) I am a natural giver.., so I'm planning to give my mother a beautiful blouse that she can wore to church.., My dad.., I'll probably give him a jersey shirt for he loves to play basketball..haha.. and for my 5 sisters.., I'll give them cute accessories that they can use.., and for my 2 brothers.., I'll buy them a Spongebob shirt.. I am excited to see their expressions once the y open what I've got for them on Christmas eve....=) How about you, do you have your Christmas list of presents for your loved ones? =)

Those sound like excellent gift ideas! I don't have a specific list of what exactly I'm buying yet, but I do have the list of people I'm buying for. Actually, sometimes I don't BUY a gift, I make it. I can knit several things that make pretty good Christmas presents, and I love the idea of the present being unique because I made it, plus it's cheaper and I don't have very much money, so that makes it easier to have gifts for everyone.

Wow you have 5 sisters and 2 brothers???? I envy you. =) How thoughtful of you. We also celebrate our christmas by a simple Dec. 24th dinner and exchanging gifts on Christmas morning. This has been a tradition since I was still a little child. I remembered giving gifts to my family members when I was still in high school. Instead of keeping the money for myself, I'll shop for gifts! And I definitely can expect my gifts too from them every christmas.
This time would really be different. =( I haven't think of it yet. My father and brother are away from home now. =( How can I give to them? Maybe I'll only send them E-CARDS. So boring! For my mom, I will just let her choose what she wants in the mall.haha
Maybe I'll give my husband and myself a couple shirt. I found out about this cool t-shirt printing thing and his t-shirt will have "sugar" on it. And mine will have "baby" written in it. Or other more ideas like ""mama - papa and baby for my daughter". What do you think? Do you have anymore couple words?hehe Still thinking about it.
