Of course I should have! He warned me he thought he was getting a sore throat, but aren't you suppose to share everything in a marriage?
Needless to say, I'm drinking Echinacia tea, eating plenty of clementines and raw veggies and just trying to relax about it all. It is what it is.
I do seem to spend more Christmases under the weather rather than above it. I think that's just because of the stress of the season and the increased opportunities to run into germies. I just need to focus on not stressing out over it and trust my immune system to do its job.
I woke up and began wrapping presents trying to be more proactive with this task this year. I really don't like wrapping. I usually find myself forced to stay up really late on Christmas Eve because I haven't wrapped anything. One of these years, I want to make decorative draw string bags we can re-use every year, I just haven't gotten around to it.

I didn't finish this post yesterday. DS12.11 wanted me to take him Christmas shopping. With his own money he bought gifts for all of us. When it came time to buy mine, he took me to a jewelry counter, had me show him what I liked and then asked me to walk away. :) So cute! I think I know what I'm getting, but my real gift was watching his generosity and Christmas spirit. When we returned home, he wrapped them all by himself.
Today DS16 wants a ride to the mall. I'm sure he was motivated by knowing what his younger brother had just done. The only thing I'd change is next year, I need to explain to these two how shopping earlier means less crowds.
I definitely have a head cold. I slept in really late this morning and my nose is starting to run a little bit more. I hope it doesn't get too bad and I can keep this from getting ugly.
I better get moving. Hope the mall isn't too crazy.

Yes you should of! LOL Sorry you are not feeling well. Oh I usually do the same things with my wrapping. I have started already but having to wrap 6 people's gifts and then we bought some for our friends I haven't gotten all of our families done yet. That is so sweet of your son to do that and what a fun thing to do. I have taken all my kids out also to let them shop with there own money too. They would of liked to gone out sooner but didn't have the money till this week. Good luck with your day! Hugs
Hope the cold doesn't get worse. Your boys are so sweet. Bless them. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Ugh being sick during the Holidays sucks. Hope you feel better soon
That's sweet of your boys. Can't wait to see what they both got for you
I hate wrapping too. Reusable wrapping bags sound great. I love reusable stuff
You are truly blessed with generous sons - how special! Take care and feel better soon! Merry Christmas.
Hope you are feeling better! Merry Christmas.
