Christmas presents

Perhaps traditions are similar and slightly different in your house at Christmastime and on the big day itself, and if they are, that's okay, but if things need to change for one reason or another, it's important to help your kids understand why a change is needed.

Most parents have had this painful experience - you find out that your kids have been playing with Lego blocks the hard way, by stepping on a hard, pointy, jagged piece. Wouldn't it be great if someone invented a piece of household armor just for this one common problem? Well, we have good news, someone did.

Last week we revisited the famous wrapping paper hack that first went viral last holiday season. In the new video, it gets slowed down and explained step by step. As I admitted, I'm a terrible gift wrapper. So I figured that I'd try it out and see if it will really revolutionize the way we wrap presents.

Gift Cards have become so popular, especially for the, "I have no idea what to get her or him on your list."

A recent survey by the National Retail Federation find the average holiday shopper will spend $749.51 on gifts, decor, greeting cards and more.
