My wifey stocks up on stuff during the year. So when Xmas time comes around, with the exception of one or two big things, it’s just a matter of picking out of the stash. For the Kids, anyway.
It used to be easy to buy stocking stuffers during the year, but as the kids get older, it’s harder.
I suspect there will come a time when the things that tickled them as little kids, will give them good memories as big kids. I hope, anyway. ;o]
I have LOTS of Christmas decorations, but no room to put them out in this place.
