All sounds positive Bex! Keep us posted. 
This year we'll wake up at home, be at my parents Christmas Day afternoon and stay over and then be at my in laws Boxing Day. This year I'm trying to be organised and Ive wrapped verything ive bought so far. Finlay has quite a few bits for Christmas on my list. We've decided to get him a little wooden kitchen as his main present and will be getting a wooden table and chair set from Ikea. Apart from that he'll be having books, some art materials, Duplo and thistle bricks, a new duvet set, a plastic lawnmower and some cars, and probably some accessories to go with the kitchen. Seeing everything we've bought already, it looks ridiculous . It's so easy to go over the top, and already I've struck a few things off the list as i was getting carried away. We've tried to buy things that he'll play with a lot in the winter, and hopefully for a few years to come - plus practical things like the bed linen. So far we've bought on promotions and gradually. I scour tk maxx and the supermarkets. It's been more fun as well. It was hard last year combining Christmas traditions. We both want to pass on things from our childhood to Finlay. Some things work well (like Christmas pjs) and some don't like our Christmas pillowcase vs stocking debate! We've also decided to create our own. We decided on F's first Christmas that we'd like him to choose an ornament, and build up a Christmas collection. Last year he picked a snow globe and this year a musical nutcracker (its a little drummer). Feeling festive already!
