How Long until Christmas?

[MoBookworm1957]

We save all our change.
At Christmas , all 6 grandkids get a roll of quarters in a box with a roll of life savers, a box of lemonheads, a box of red hots a pack of candy canes.

Been doing it since they were born. Youngest is 13 oldest is 19.

Plus they get other presents.
Yeah , I get excited about Christmas.

Estelle is getting toy coffee pot for her play kitchen at her dad's house.
A doll set Wal*Mart has on sale for $20, I think it has about 25 items in the set.
Also for her dad's house.
Her Christmas blanket I made her.
Matching pj's so that her and Reign can match.
Hat and mittens set I am making her now.
Baby Reign is getting that Fisher Price 5 piece toy set for $20.
Squeaky animals matching pajama's with Estelle.
Her Christmas blanket that I made her and her hat.
Strawberry is getting a sweater that I am making.
Both girls are getting piggy banks with $3 of pennies in them.
Oldest son's lady's kids are getting piggy banks with $3 of pennies that's it.
They told me they wanted money.
They're 4 and 7 years old.
So that's what they're getting $3 of pennies in piggy banks.
Unrolled pennies.
And that's all.
Best of all I stayed on budget with my grand daughters.

The pennies could be a tradition every year till they're grown.
Its surprising. How they look for that every year.

Estelle thinks she's rich when Granny gives her quarter worth of pennies.
She walks around with my old wallet in my old purse just as happy as can be.

Yes, we will get together with all the grandkids ,
We will have a big Christmas dinner, as always we will supply and cook a big platter, piled high with ribeye steaks an we and my daughter will supply baked potatoes and salad and other related trimmings...
Then it's over to the Christmas tree for exchanging so man presents .
Of course the kids , even though they're all growed up, it's still exciting.

Great break time from the troubles and woes if life.

We always thank God for baby Jesus, who , without him there's no reason for Christmas.

Here's my favorite.
The children always give me faith in the future.

Everybody has their spot to brag about. This would be ours. I have not been, but my wife has. They took a girls trip, and said it was spectacular. It does put you in the mood.

I did have the opportunity to see them live, and they were very good. I would highly recommend it.

Mannheim Steamroller is another that puts on a great Christmas show.
