With all this news before us daily, tis the season to be giving. My friends and family have decided instead of indulging in our usual gift giving tradition, we will put the money to extra tags off the church giving tree, the local foodbank, local favorite charities and any other worthy cause to help our neighbors who find themselves in very difficult times.

We each only buy one gift, and the exchange works like a white elephant except it with new gifts. We focus on being with each other rather than "what we get" for Christmas. This is easy for our family as Christmas is more for the kids and then we always enjoy being together. But this year the kids are going to learn what's most important....like it or not : ) It's less stressful and we'll have a blast!mymariaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00143243315832246742noreply@blogger.com
