Something you want,
Something you need,
Something to wear,
and something to read.
I feel less stress already. :)

Our Christmas Mantra
While thinking of what we want for Christmas, what we should buy for the kids....what we should buy for each other, and if we have done enough, it is easy to get lost and go overboard.

I hear ya, sister! I have never had more enjoyable holidays than when we adopted our new "1 Santa & 1 Mom/Dad" policy. Throw in a pair of Christmas PJs & the holiday is low-stress & wonderful. Yay for scalin' it down!
We heard that last year from our good friends. We're doing the exact same thing this year :)

We do something similar and love it. We do 3 presents from mom and dad and the stocking from santa. It is awesome. Not only does it make me really stop to think about what we are buying, but it simplifies expectations all around.
Super awesome idea! Nick and I go through this dilemma every year.
