Pondering Getting a Clothesline

I've been thinking about doing some more "natural" living. More home made foods (thanks to food processing companies deciding to support immoral behaviors), and a general desire for healthy eating.

Extended Family Gift-Giving Challenges

RETHINKING GIFT GIVING?

   Gift-Giving with Large Families is a challenge we now face. Here are some ideas I came across. Please let me know if you have or like an idea to keep Christmas and Birthday celebrations about family fun, and not about the stress of gift giving.

 

CHRISTMAS

*Drawing Names (Secret Santa)

*1 Gift for Each Family

*Family Vacation

*Inexpensive ($15) gifts to kids under 18

*Homemade Gifts or Good Deed Certificates

*Bring a Gift for a Game

*Bring a gift to donate

*No Gifts, just a Gathering

 

 

"Many people want and plan to focus their time and energies on the real meaning of Christmas, the true spirit of the holiday season, by showing love and friendship towards family and friends gathered together without the added stress of giving gifts."

An American Carol

Got his one from Catholic Fire. I hope this one comes to our area - looks like a good laugh in an election year! It's a spoof on The Christmas Carol.



God Bless!
