MEthinks 

This week I was thinking a lot about how for every holiday it seems to be becoming a much more elaborately celebrated gift giving excuse of a day. 

I think its crazy and also as a side note funny that I was thinking this then somebody else out there wrote a big post about it but this is my post about it and I can't remember where I read the other one.

Anyway our kids have enough at Easter, Christmas and for birthdays we do the tooth fairy, the bunny and Santa here but I draw the line at gifts for Valentines day {we have a nice dinner together and they do cards at school} then comes leprechauns really the lephrechauns hid green treats and mess things up:( no thank you..... we do lucky charms and green eggs and I flat told them that leprechauns don't exist and that I put food coloring in the eggs ........and why would I want to mess up my house I'm the one who has to clean it up I don't need another reason to clean!

{I know might as well tell them there no Santa or easter bunny too right well they can figure those ones out if they want...} 

But sugar cookies and decor and some cereal are fine with us its just that when they come home thinking cause some people or there teachers tell them all about the Lepracauns that its some big holiday to celebrate again and how they should set traps for the naughty beggars and get gifts from him that they should too....its all to much if you ask me. 

I like the simple things like wearing green and eating green eggs playing a game there has to be a line or we could be having a few to many gift giving days to many which in turn makes the special ones not so special anymore:(

So I guess each to their own but I kind of like the simple days and simple ways concept there's only so much and we don't need to compare what others are doing to what we do just making our own traditions but seriously every year seems to get more out of control....in my opinion.... 

Simple days simple ways 

 should be my motto and I shouldn't feel bad that I think that and well neither should you if you go all out....

but just saying it feels like there is so so much more reason for an excuse to over gift, over stimulate and over entitle every little holiday...instead of just enjoying it and wearing green so you don't get pinched like it used to be:)

 What do you think??  

Thats it ;)

Have a great week:)
