OK, am I the only one who finds AFTER Christmas almost more fun than before? I'm loving watching the kids enjoy their gifts. I'm loving finding accessories to go with what they got (I "pad" the Xmas budget to allow for this). I'm relaxed. I don't care about the house being a little (OK, so it's more like a lot) messy throughout the day. Monday, we'll find permanent homes for the new stuff, until then, it gets organized and moved out of the way each late afternoon.
We're all having fun watching each other have fun and I love it. Some of the kids are still working their way through the new stuff. It's an extended Christmas and...to top it off...MY Christmas comes in January. Chris and I usually wait til January to exchange for budgetary reasons. This year, he got his gift early cause it was an Ebay only item and it became available just before the holiday. But...I am still waiting. So, I have that anticipation going on and I'll admit it...I'm a big kid!
So, the 12 Days of Christmas are in full operation 'round here! I'm loving it. Every minute of it.

I am with you. My kids are having fun exploring the gifts and trying them out. Tom even used the Wii FINALLY ...so they are all having fun and enjoying.
We *still* have all of the Christmas toys out. They're slowly, one-by-one, finding their way to their permanent homes. I love the week post-Christmas. It's happy chaos.
Have fun!
:)
