We didn&#8217;t have a lot of toys, we didn&#8217;t do Christmas crafts or go on holiday jaunts, but it was still magical.</p>
<p>My brother and I started a tradition of waking up in the middle of the night and pulling everything out of our stockings and seeing our <strong><em>big</em></strong> gift from Santa. Santa always brought the big gift.  A big plus for in our house is that Santa did not wrap his gifts! That is how we knew the gift was from Santa.</p>
<p>What I didn&#8217;t realize was that Santa wrapped other kids&#8217; gifts.When I found this out I was no longer a believer, so it didn&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>Then I got married and had kids.  Hubby&#8217;s Santa did wrap!  He wrapped the big gift and the stocking stuffers!  It was a time for copermise and Hubby&#8217;s side won!</p>
<p>Santa wraps at our house now. I help him get special gift wrap so that his are different looking than ours&#8230;..this parenting stuff is so complicated!</p>
<p>There is my five minutes of Stream Of Consciousness about Santa Wrapping!  Life changing I know! Does your Santa wrap?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month was <a href="http://fouragainsttwo.com/index.php/2009/11/01/november-is-adoption-awareness-month/">National Adoption Awareness Month </a>as I have mentioned before.  I used all my November AVON profits to buy Christmas gifts for a local foster child. I chose a ten year old girl since I have some experience with them!  Thanks to everyone who bought products from me! I was able to purchase 2 outfits, 1 backpack, 1 purse, a Hannah Montana pillow and blanket (she requested these as I am not a fan!), hair things, lotions, lip glosses and some fun tween toys.  Of course the mom in me also got underwear, socks, shampoos and school supplies.</p>
