Hello ladies! I'm sneaking back in here for all the Christmas chats and gift ideas! 
We are totally unsure what Christmas 2021 will look like given the global pandemic still going on, but I want to make the most of it at least, regardless.
This weekend is thanksgiving here and we aren't allowed to have anyone over for dinner as our government announced yesterday that we have to keep to our single household bubble, even if we are fully vaccinated. I'm sad because all I usually have are my parents and aunt and uncle. Oddly, our restrictions that way are only from Friday at 6pm until Monday at 11:59pm. Not sure what good it will do but our numbers are higher than they've ever been so fingers crossed we get things under control before Christmastime.
Anyways, J has moved out so I am unsure where he can be or plans to be (hard to know with restrictions always changing) so I don't even know if he will come home for the holidays or not. He used to spend it with his dads family when he lived here... we shall see. He is 19 now and lately hasn't been into anything in particular. I plan to get him mostly gift cards and some clothing he may need.
K is turning 12 just after Christmas. She is into clothing right now so likely that will be the brunt of her gifts too. I miss the days where they liked toys lol it made them much easier to shop for.
The older they get, the less christmassy things seem to feel, especially where K hasn't believed in Santa for the last few years.
What are some things you plan to get your tweens/teens? Help a mama out here lol
