I can hardly believe it's the middle of September already. Where does the time go?! I am beginning to look for Christmas and birthday gifts for Daisy and am finding it difficult. What do you get the girl who has so much? It's time to clean out her toy buckets again. She accumulates toys at a faster rate than we can remove them. It's getting out of control. She wants for nothing that's for sure.

This year I want to start a new tradition. Working Man and his family always have appetizers for Christmas Eve dinner, opened all their present that night, and had prime rib for Christmas dinner. After Daisy was born I called for a change in tradition. I love the appetizers for dinner but wanted her to open only one present on Christmas Eve. This year I want to add something else. On Pinterest I had seen a pin of someone who did Christmas Eve baskets and in each were Christmas morning pajamas, a Christmas movie, and a move snack. The pinner stated everyone would change into their Christmas pjs, watch the movie and eat their snack. This just sounds like a great way to spend Christmas Eve.

I so look forward to Christmas because it means that it's cold and cloudy, my favorite. I found a word for this on Facebook, pluviophile. A person who loves rainy dreary days. Bring on the rain!
