So I'm sure most of you have already got your shopping done, your presents wrapped, and are sitting back enjoying a cup of hot cocoa while your children play nicely at your feet. Not happening? Yea, not here either. I think I finally have all my shopping done, but I forgot to buy tape, so I'll be wrapping as fast today as possible.
At least this is one way not to have my kids guessing their gifts already. Usually, we have presents under the tree for days ahead of time, and the kids have figured out what they are getting by shaking and rattling the boxes. I've had to resort to a few tricks over the years to keep them from guessing. Most of the time, I don't add any names to the gifts. Instead, I'll choose a color or theme wrapping paper for each child and wrap all their gifts that way. Then, as we are opening presents, I'll let them know their color. It adds a little to the excitement.
