I know some people will start this on December 13th and end on December 24th. Some will give another gift(s) on Christmas. Other people will start this on December 14th and end on December 25th and this is their Christmas present. I start on December 13th. 

I hung my banner with my 12 numbered clothespins last night. I decided to use the same banner I used last year which isn't anything Martha Stewart would be proud of. 

I got up before Mr. Fife but I do every morning. I grabbed the little candy bag of chocolates wrapped in black foil that said COAL on the tag. I would show you a picture of that but I don't have one because Mr. Fife had me wrap them up again and was giving them to a friend as a joke this morning. 

I then sat on the bed and told Mr. Fife it was time to get up. He asked the time and said he could sleep a little longer and didn't even open his eyes. It wasn't until Fife 2 came in the room and asked if I was holding Daddy's present for the day. I said yes and miraculously Mr. Fife's opened his eyes and was well rested. He opened the wrapping and look so disappointed. I made a joke about how I told you that he was getting coal this year. I then proceeded to ask if he wanted his real gift? Well I wrapped his real gift in a juicebox case. He opened it and asked if this was another gag gift. I told him to open it and find out. 

He opened it and he got a fleece pullover from his university. He loves anything and all things from his university. It was a hit. Here is the picture of the pullover.

I then had him write on the tag what he got and pin it up on the banner. 

Shhhhhh here is a sneak of tomorrows gift. I can't say what it is because Mr. Fife reads this blog. 

 

Have a great day and wonderful weekend. By the way if you are looking for some great gifts for friends and co-workers today only (December 13th) Bath and Body Works is having their $8 candle sale. That is a great deal for 3 wick candles that are normally $20.
