We have a problem in our family. That problem is not wanting to wait until Christmas to give gifts. So, we have a number of traditions that help us to solve this problem; I am only going to tell you about one of them.
Ever since we were little, my parents have taken my sisters and I to buy presents for each other. When we first began, we always went to the Dollar Tree (everything is a dollar!). Now, we all have a bit of our own money and we are able to go better places to get more quality gifts... like Wal-Mart.
I think it's one of my favorite parts of Christmas.
How does this help with the family problem? Well, beginning four days before Christmas Eve (because Christmas Eve is just about as big as Christmas around here) each one of us girls takes a turn giving our gifts to our sisters. So each day, all of us (but one) get a gift. It's really nice, and we put a LOT of thought into these gifts. The best part...
The first day is today.
