I bought everything early, but kept putting off getting the right sized boxes. Next year will hopefully be easier and quicker.<br /><br />I bought a few books for my nephew who is a reader. Other than that, most of the kids we buy for are a little too young. Never too young to read, but it seems that most babies/toddlers already have huge book selections.Sarah Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671051704990208661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-60568201325665301302013-12-16T00:10:00.055-06:002013-12-16T00:10:00.055-06:001. taking down the decorations

It is hard for me to get in the spirit and to decorate or put the tree up... then I remember my kids and that this is the making of new traditions (and if my mom were around she would kick me in the hiney for not moving forward) :)Sheila (Bookjourney)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05354184020340930630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-88570243196671929252013-12-15T19:59:52.252-06:002013-12-15T19:59:52.252-06:001.

I've been thinking about what to cook for our Christmas dinner but just can't seem to get myself to look for recipes online or even to try and think of a possible dish. <br /><br />2. This is my first year giving a book as a Christmas present. Nobody in my family likes to read. The book I bought is for one of my baby nephews.

If I don't see the person, in person, over the holidays I telephone for a chat.<br /><br />2. I always give books as gifts. This year it seems to be a lot of non-fiction and craft books.
