When I was you...As always, your work is so awesome!<br />When I was young (over a million years ago), my parents would not let me get up until they were up and the house had warmed up. Now this was the time before global warming, so it was cold. Christmas Eve, Daddy would turn the heat down a little extra so the house would be cooler. I would call to my parents and then Daddy would get up and turn the heat up SOME. As I stood in my bedroom waiting for the house to warm up, I could hardly stand it! <br />(After I was grown, my parents confessed that they were in their bedroom laughing because they knew I was about to have a cow to get to the livingroom where Santa had been.) When my parents felt like the house was warm enough, they would tell me they were going to the livingroom and I could come after they got there. Oh what joy- I finally got to see what Santa had brought. The thing about it is, I continued the tradition with my kids and they continue it with their kids!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35679696.post-38266100201139803622006-12-06T14:38:00.000-05:002006-12-06T14:38:00.000-05:00Just found your page.

So sweet for you to leave your work up for those of us who are a bit slow to find a great site like yours. I've so enjoyed the reading and can't wait to use the pages. Thanks so much for putting your hard work up for someone like me (no talent, no imagination, but want quality pages for pictures of family and friends).

We could get our stockings and take them back to our rooms as long as we didn't wake mom and dad. We'd be up sooo early, 3 4 5am. Grab our stockings and dump them out on the bed. The funny thing after we were grown and on our own. My dad would call us early in the morning wanting to know when we were going to get there. The day was half over... it was 9 am.....lol I miss them both.Pooh Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905872332412128963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35679696.post-46209887632817608742006-12-05T21:49:00.000-05:002006-12-05T21:49:00.000-05:00Thanks for another lovely present.

Christmas ...Before I forget, yes we all have as... Christmas seem to bring out the scrooges. lol<br /><br />Here is one of my Christmas memories. My parents were not big on Christmas traditions but when I was about 5 and we stayed with cousins in San Francisco. They were 3 boys in their teens. They had a fireplace. Christmas morning they had a pair of boots in the fireplace with red cloth stuck in them. I swear it looked like Santa was stuck in there. Scared the bejeebers out of me. It took them forever to get me to come in the living room and open presents.<br /><br />BTW, the three present rule is priceless. I never heard of that. Thanks again.dianagrindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089933446606983995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35679696.post-25134378449050604332006-12-05T20:09:00.000-05:002006-12-05T20:09:00.000-05:00Thank you for the gift.

I know if my mom and dad need that then I would have believed in Santa for longer then what I did. Being the 5th kid of 7 I didn't believe for long LOL my older brother and sisters made it clear to me at a early age that there was no Santa so I guess for me it was trying to sneak a peek to see what mom was wrapping upstairs lol<br />thanks for sharing your story.

I find your kits prettier than the ones they have for sale in alot of the scrap sites. Anyway Christmas is my most favorite time of the year. I always go overboard for Christmas. Even in my "poor" days I would buy from the cheap stores, like the dollar stores of today. It wasn't quality toys but my kids loved them all the same. I've been a single working mom for a long time and when my kids were young times were real tough. But Christmas mornings is what my kids will always remember. I always bought too much and would wrap every single thing, include a chap lips stick. I even wrapped the little thing that fit into the 45's records. I would usually hide the presents down the basement, cause you know how kids are afraid of the basements and would usually be up till 4 Christmas morning wrapping the gifts. Not one present would be under the tree until after they went to bed Christmas eve. When the kids got up they would be so excited, but they could not open a present until I got up to watch. So usually I would only get a few hours sleep that night. I still go overboard on Christmas, but now I start wrapping early and the presents are put under the tree as I wrap. Each year now I tell my kids that it is just too much and I will only get them a few things for Christmas and give them money so they could pick out what they want but they say I can't and it wouldn't be the same, so ho, ho, ho, a shopping I will go. lol.
