I guess you can call me one of those OCD Moms. Our tree always completely matches, from top to bottom. Yes, even the wrapping paper must all coordinate with each other. The girls have their own tree they decorate as they wish. I guess it works for us but someday the girls will start their own traditions.
We usually split up the holiday with several different families. We have my husbands family, which consists of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins galore. We have my sister and her family, along with my mom. This year my dad stayed with us during the holidays and was there Christmas morning when Santa arrived with all his gifts. We also have close friends we get together with during the holidays over dinner, wine and more gift giving. The preparation itself can be overwhelming but always worth it in the end.
