This is one of my all time favorite Christmas pictures from the past. Some of you might remember it! Kole had been in bed for hours and had a nightmare that woke him up so he came downstairs to find me. I was up of course (night owl for life) and was taking pics of my family room at night for a blog post. We talked about his bad dream and I gave him a hug and then he walked over to the tree to show me something and I snapped this one picture before I put him back in bed. I took him back to his room and remember laying next to him in bed and talking about how excited we were for Christmas and what Santa might bring. I love this memory and the picture I was lucky enough to snap that goes with it. :)

Precious photo of your little boy. What a blessing that you took it at that moment!
Thank you so much Kathy! I know.. I’m so grateful I had my camera all set up and could snap that moment in time to remember it! xo
That picture is such a sweet one and it’s no wonder it’s such a favorite. So happy you have it to look back on. Thanks for sharing the great gift ideas, too. Appreciate your hard work on these posts. :)

Thank you Liz! Nothing like little kids at Christmas time. :)
That photo is so sweet but the story behind it is just precious! Great Christmas posts!
Thank you so much Leah! So sweet of you. :)
Hi Erin,
Gosh, I love that picture of your son! What a sweet moment.
Thanks for the suggestions. Playmobil sets were such a hit when our children were younger. Now they are grown and would probably like a vacuum cleaner!
We found that the best way to take advantage of all the seasonal sales is to move our gift timeline forward. We’ve started exchanging cash gifts on (or before) Thanksgiving, which allows each of us to shop the sales and find personal favorites. We keep our shopping secret, and then reveal all of the gifts we chose on Christmas morning. We call it Reverse Show and Tell Christmas.
It really is just moving the “give/receive” part of gifitng forward with the cash gifts, and keeping the “reveal” part, with all of the excitement, for Christmas day. We love it! So much less stress. So much more fun! During the reveal, we always learn new things about people we know well. I’m forwarding sale picks like yours to others, and can’t wait to see what they choose for themselves! As for me….I’m watching the gift list suggestions too!
Kind regards,
Mallory
Mallory! That is genius! Oh my word.. what a fun and SMART idea! I love that so much. It’s often hard to figure out what loved ones really want and that takes that part right out of the equation! I’m going to tell my family about this and see if they want to try it one year. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing it! :)
Hi Erin! I’m so glad that you like the idea! It has been such a game changer for us! All the fun of gifting, with none of the stress! There’s more detailed info on my blog, with the Origin Story, a “How To” guide and even some cute downloads. You can find me at malloryblake.com or @themalloryblake on insta.
