Christmas was a bit interesting this year. I don't normally shop for myself. Jed does that, and in the past he always gets me several gifts and a santa present. In the days leading up to christmas I was informed by almost every family member that I would not be getting a gift or would get it later. Jed said he just didn't have time to shop (which is true) and I really didn't want to take my kids shopping right before christmas. There was a line to park in the parking lot at Walmart. So, I got three gifts this year. Jed did buy me a pair of boots. I got two gifts, a few pictures from my mom and a necklace from my dad. A very small christmas compared to the norm. My stocking sat alone with nothing in it, and no santa gift while everyone else's was overflowing, and I opened only the few gifts.
Emma asked me with a sad look, "Where are all your gifts?" I replied that I must have been naughty this year so Santa didn't leave me anything. This bothered her quite a bit. She kept coming up and hugging me and telling me that I had better be good next time and that she still loved me. Ashton laughed at me for being on the naughty list.
Well, I know the real truth. Next time, buy my own gifts! Just in case.

Well at least your kids will believe you when you say that they'd better be good or else Santa won't leave them anything.
