    Am I going too far when I wrap pressie's for my daughter in two different wrapping papers so she can tell which are from Father Christmas and which are from me? She's 3, do you think she'll realise if I wrap them all in the same paper? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    aww no i think that's lovely! age 3 is the perfect Christmas age...Christmas is magical when you're a child!

    well done on the sorting out of your bedroom...we need to do ours but i can't face it just now :D

    I'm itching to wrap our girls' prezzies but my DD is 5 and rather switched on, the slightest sight of Christmas paper and she'll be asking questions! Have thought od putting them all in the garage but we had (hope it's HAD, there's a sonic devise in there!) but I don't trust they've gone and worry the stugg will be chewed or poohed on! I've lost the use of my cupboard for now.. and black sacks till Christmas eve night :(

    Isn't it fun getting stuff for baby - I know it was for me, even if we had to do it after my youngest arrived as she surprised us by coming so early! :D
