You're at a bookstore and they're doing an xmas book drive. Quick:what books do you buy for the kids? Probably just whatever books are on clearance - Borders always has a ton that are $1 or $2.
Something you hate about this time of year: The cold. That's really it.
Does it snow where you live? Cha, a lot!
We are supposed to get our first measurable snow fall tomorrow night/Saturday morning which is a huge bummer because H and I are flying out Saturday morning for our honeymoon. I really hope the snow doesn't impede our travel!
I really can't think of anything.
This is my fist full winter here. When I moved in February, DH assured me that the winters here were much milder than Cleveland and then we got hit with a bizzard days later.

No ... um, I actually usually pay my brother $10.00 to do all of my presents for me because it's so bad. I worked at McDonald's when I was a teenager, and I pretty much wrap gifts the way one would wrap a cheeseburger, lol.
You're at a bookstore and they're doing an xmas book drive. Quick:what books do you buy for the kids?
I love kids books! I'd probably go with the "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" series (There's like 7 different books, all of them are great) for the younger kids, and Beverly Cleary and Judy Blume for the older ones.
Something you hate about this time of year:
I hate that my siblings will not agree to do a SS exchange. Every year I pitch the idea, every year they all turn it down. Obviously, I think the kids (My nieces and my youngest brother) should still get gifts from everybody, but 4 of us are adults. It costs a lot even with a $20 limit to get something for everybody, and still take care of the parents, grandparents and S/Os.
Does it snow where you live?
Some years we gets tons, other years not so much. .

You're at a bookstore and they're doing an xmas book drive. Quick:what books do you buy for the kids? Dr. Seuss, Chronicles of Narnia (I actually want to get those for DD for Christmas), maybe some cute little board books for babies
Something you hate about this time of year: Cold and snow...I live in the wrong part of the country haha
Does it snow where you live? Yup, it's snowing now. FI has been off for the last three days
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

I love Junie B. Jones! I completely forgot about those! When I still worked in the bookstore, I used to read them when it was slow.I forget which book it was, but I still remember when she explained she had been dumped and "Dumped means 'you have to find a new Riccardo'", lol.

[QUOTE]Are you good at wrapping presents? I think so. For Christmas I like to attach little ornaments to the presents to make them a little cuter. You're at a bookstore and they're doing an xmas book drive. Quick:what books do you buy for the kids? Educational books (made for kids). Something you hate about this time of year: Stress. I stress more during the November, December, January months than I do all year long. Does it snow where you live? No. <strong> I've never lived where it snows. Maybe that the reason I love snow so much.</strong>

I lived in an area where it snows my whole life, and I still love snow! H and I and some of our friends go sledding every year after we've had a good snow fall.
However, I do know plenty of people that hate the snow. A majority of my fb friends were complaining about it earlier this week when it was snowing.

[QUOTE]Are you good at wrapping presents? I'm decent. No one's ever complained, and hey, at least I've never stuck a bunch of presents under a beach towel. (That would be my brother.)

My dad also used to do that, but now he just gives my brother and I an envelope with cash. No card or anything. Just a regular envelope with cash.

Haha yeah, he just sat there with all of the presents stacked on his lap and a giant towel over them, then handed them out one by one.

<div>That's what mine does with me/FI and my brother, but he actually buys stuff for my kids. The envelope is usually a "gift" envelope from the bank...haha</div>
