My cousins get so many presents at Christmas that they don’t have a clue who gave them what. That’s not to say that they are ungrateful – they are probably the most polite and thankful little crumb snatchers I’ve ever met – they are just overwhelmed with stuff. Which is a good position to be in, if you ask me.

Since we don’t like getting lost in the shuffle, we try to do something a little different every year in lieu of gifts, making 2009 the year of our first official Snuggie Party. My mom coordinated lots of Snuggie activities like decorating a gingerbread house, painting ornaments, making caramel corn, watching A Christmas Story, and choreographing dance movies – all done from the confines of our Snuggies.

I think it’s safe to say that this was the first of many Snuggie parties to come.
