or a Chiefs tree? or both?

Matthew McConaughey's mother believes in quantity, not quality, of Christmas gifts. they individually wrap each and every thing. what if I did this in grandkids bags? individually wrapped each and every gift? would take them more time and maybe make it a bit more meaningful? and what if we followed Matthew's other rule and opened one present at a time with everyone watching?

A saran wrap ball for our Christmas with scratcher tickets and cash?

ordered fancy white nightgowns for girls for xmas, a fancy sleeper for baby, and red long johns for Ian.

and of course the screaming monkeys and the barbie dolls and Ian's bookmarks....and a book for each kid [so far], cause I know I've been going overboard on the books.....and whatever else I come up with...

2022

ordered ethnic, different sized, etc Barbies for 4 big girls.

bookmarks for Ian.

kicking off X-mas 2022. just ordered 6 screaming flying slingshot monkeys for 6 grandkids.
