Are you all ready for Christmas? I was talking to a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and she was giving high-fives over the fact that she was done, gifts were wrapped and delivered... basically she could sit around and enjoy the holidays.
My problem is that I LIKE a little of the frazzled, crazy last-minute stuff. I want a few things that still need to be wrapped on Christmas Eve. When I don't have them I just think I need to do more shopping. Like last night, after Prima Donna's band concert, I told my sweetie that since I haven't been feeling well most of the week, I didn't know if I would get time to finish my homemade pajama pants for the kids. So we headed to Kohl's to buy each child a backup pair. I don't know how they can sell things so cheap there...sometimes it's almost like they are giving them away! I bought some jeans for me at just over $2 a pair. Some cute, cute shirts that included a cami underneath were $1.50, as was the sparkling peach-colored sweater. And if you aren't big like me and wondering about your sizes, we also bought size 1 jeans for Princess for the same price.
At our Kohl's they had way more girl stuff than boy, but we still managed to pull a few things off the rack that the boys will love. All of the clearance in our store is an extra 25% off of the reduced price. Seriously, if you still need Christmas gifts or even if you just want a couple more things to wrap on Christmas Eve, try Kohl's.**I didn't receive any compensation from Kohl's for writing this post...how could they pay me? They obviously aren't making anything on this one!**
Oh man, I'm so ready for Christmas already! About two weeks ago I sat down, wrapped every gift that I needed to wrap, put them under the tree (probably our last year for a while being able to leave presents laying around without fear of little ones opening them), or hidden away if they belong in a stocking. I also made sure that same day that gifts going out to families were shipped, or at least ordered from Amazon and getting shipped straight to family members!
ReplyDeleteI just about had a panic attack last night when we were planning meals for next week when I realized I hadn't picked up a ham yet, and it's going to be crazy to find one the right size for us at a price that won't kill me!
You mention Kohls a lot, I haven't been there much. We didn't have one nearby at all when I was growing up so it isn't a store I'm familiar with, therefore not one that I think about going to. I know there is one about 6 miles down the road, and that isn't too bad. I'll tdefinitely have to investigate our Kohls once we find out the gender!
I hope your family has a very Merry Christmas! I can't wait to hear all about it!

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
