12 Things...

December Giveaways Continue and All This Week's Activities!

December 7, 2011

Do you recall that song that gets played around the holidays - "The 12 Pains of Christmas"?  Some of the things on the list were "finding parking spaces," "batteries not included," "facing my in-laws," and "five months of bills" - it still cracks me up every time I hear it.  To that list I'd like to add...

  • trying to get my kids to stay clean and sit still for a picture for the Christmas card (as obvious from the picture above)
  • uploading 12 months of pictures to Shutterfly then trying to create the calendar hours before the 50% discount expires
  • feeling like I'm way behind when it's only December 1st!

Let's face it, the holidays can be a whirlwind time when we're so busy getting ready that we forget to enjoy the season - at least that's what usually happens to me.  Today I decided, though, that I'm going to try hard to get everything done by Dec. 18th, giving me one full week to enjoy all the wonderful things that the holiday season can be.  I'll let you know how that goes.  And if you see me at Target at 10pm on Dec. 23rd, please don't judge!

It's December Giveaways at Macaroni Kid Warren, and this week, we have not one but two great prizes!  Moms, we have some great tips for your hair this holiday season and the chance to win a haircut and blow dry from Fiorilli Designs!  We're also giving away a Family 4-pack of tickets to see Disney On Ice presents Mickey and Minnie's Magical Journey in January! 

We have a winner last week's Giveaway - Bonnie from Green Brook won the $50 Mary Kay gift certificate and pampering session with Marybeth Lijo!  If you didn't get a chance to read about Marybeth and Mary Kay, check out the article HERE!

Articles this week include:

Activities this week include Gingerbread activities at the Watchung Library and the PEP Club, the Great Swamp Owl Prowl, and the Long Hill Children's Holiday Party.  Check the calendar for a complete listing of all events.
