with the holidays coming soon?

What do you do for your dogs? Do you buy them presents ect.

I usually get mine bones from the butcher for thanksgiving, and I make them dog biscuits/cookies for Chrismas. I also get stockings for them with new toys and maybe a few extra treats?

Do you do anything special for yours? Any traditions you have with yours? My fiance likes to make my Malamute a igloo out of snow in the winter~~My mal loves it!!
It isn’t like I think my dogs actually care~ if I didn’t have the money to do what I do then I wouldn’t do it one year. But I love the looks on their faces….like its the best day they have ever had and they can’t believe they have so many great toys……then they usually play with the old toys lol and leave the new ones alone.
howpathetic~ 2 months is consitered soon when you have 2 children under the age of 7. I remember being younger and thinking people were crazy for shopping in Nov, and planning in Nov cuz Christmas was so far away….then I grew up and got engaged to a man with 2 children which I help raise and will be adopting and realized that 2 months isn’t much time at all. Especially since I feel like summer just ended.

looking for fun ideas to do with older kids for Chrismas?

Im looking for ideas for stuff to do for christmas with a 12 and 14 year old. We have a tradition of making gingerbread houses and cookies, driving around seeing lights and karoke to Christmas music. But Im looking for something to do with them this weekend (no shopping please!) that may be educational or creative. Thanks all
