All the crazy Christmas Fanatics - My Mom has you beat...


So I went to look at my Christmas pics from last year, and I cannot stop laughing at this. This is how overboard my mom goes with presents:




Please tell me no one else is this bad.

Those stockings, one is mine and one is my OH's, the rest were Helena's from various Santa's.

There were more in the stairwell and down the hall as well. I would say 25% more.

...

I am just wondering if anyone else has a mom like this. I saw a lady on Dr Phil once who was the same way and her family begged her to stop with the gifts.

I kind of dread going. It sucks all the fun out of Christmas when you have to sit there for like 10 hours of present opening.

wow! thats a lot of stuff! Who are they all for? surely its for a lot of different people??? :S

My mum has always spoilt me (only child) and now hubby a bit but i am hoping she has cut down this year with bubs on way too! I always feel so guilty when were all still opening presents and she has nothing left to open :S
