I think this is very pretty.

This year, I bought books also and rather than wrap them, I've put them in a box and we have 24 numbers to cross off. Each night, my son will pick out 2 books of his choosing for his bedtime read and the left over books will be his Christmas Eve present to look at while relaxing in new PJs. I don't see it as too much work and it's a great way to increase his library. I wanted to avoid sweets and candies before bed.

My 4 year old loves the Nook Color we have and if I didn't have that, I may have considered this.

Like all things, moderation is key.

The price of those is outlandish. Seriously?

@joshfrink: If you read the description, those were inspired by the posters you linked too.

I really think this is a fantastic room.

I think they are beautiful. I went to summer camp and I loved the wall of bunkbeds.

I never use ANY of the cookbooks I have. I love them but I find I got online for all my recipes. I've decided to sell them during my next Yard Sale.

I also like that there is not a lot of paint. Very cute and inexpensive play kitchen.

In our house, if the TV becomes an issue...it gets turned off.

Very interesting...my parents do this and I classify it as hoarding. I do not want to have to wonder if the food is from a recent run to the store or was purchased in 1998 when I graduated.

I think it's a good idea to have an emergency stock for each family member and pet.

And what happens to expired food? I looked on my shelves and most of my food expires before 2013 (ha there's a joke in there about 2012, I just know it.) Do people who stockpile use the soon to expire food or just leave it in the emergency supply? Very curious about this.

My advice, don't make it harder than it needs to be. Tell the truth and don't be preachy and you'll do fine. It is nice to see that you are concerned, I think you'll do just fine if confronted.
