One trick I learned while the boys were still little was to put little toys in their stockings so that they would play with them outside while the adults cleaned up the Christmas gift mess and got the fancy meal on the table.

I learned the cheap airsoft guns from my friend, who was like a super mom to me at the time. Now, even though it’s like 10 years from when I started getting them the first cheap airsoft guns in their stockings, my boys always look for them in their stockings, and shoot each other in the living room until it’s time to eat. What fun memories those cheap airsoft guns made for us.
