I think I need a Christmas mental makeover-

Here's the thing-it should not matter if there is less under the tree if it is gifts they really want.

Right?

WHAT is wrong with me that I can't stop feeling bad that I don't have a couple grand to spend on my family for Christmas? I look at the little pile of gifts and feel bad but in those gifts is plenty of $$-

I bought my parents the biggest gift this year- they have done SO much for me and for us- my brother and I went in on a combo gift. I bought them a Wii and a game from my kids- he bought them two games, a Wii Mote and a Nunchuck- so they have 4 games to play and two controllers. We want to make this special for them and neither of us want much this year anyway-

Ian- XBox 360 game-Spiderman Friend or Foe and the Spiderman 3 special DVD set.

Braden- so far just a PS2 game- Darkwatch- that he has been asking for for ages.

Rose- got her the High School Musical game for the Wii- comes with a mic and you can sing all the songs from the movies. I also got her the Bratz movie.

Davis is on hiatus- he is not here so I am not going to spend $$ on him. I have time to get him something before he gets home.

I grabbed a DVD set that Ria has been asking for-

So far I have nothing for my brother and his wife, and I need one more thing for Braden and Ria-I am giving framed pictures of our family to his two sets of parents, my two grandfathers and my parents.

Got a few fun things for stockings- and I am going to get a family gift- I am thinking of a game for our 360- Scene It?

So when you add up the games and all- it adds up. They are NICE gifts- just not ALOT of them.

I think this is going to haunt me til Christmas is over. I talked to Braden about it yesterday and he did not seem to mind less gifts-

Maybe it is just me....

my kids keep looking under the tree and getting all excited about what is in the gifts- they are not looking at the tree going "where is everything?".....

My dumb puppy gobbled up the wrapping on one of Rose's gifts- stepped all over it. Lucky it was just the box she smooshed. *sigh*
