...Nice Post Maria.. we can always use a reminder. <br /><br />Over the years, our family (whole entire family) has massively downsized gift giving. We gather together as a large group for Christmas Eve, we no longer exchange gifts. Instead we bring food, or games, and spend time just catching up, and enjoying our time together. We are with our individual families on Christmas Day. As far as family goes, we all agreed to only buy gifts for our parents, children, & our spouses. It used to be so out of control. It was a sea of gifts for about 35 people, that turned into a mountain of stress before the night was through. Did the person like it, was gratitude shown, was the size/color right?, Did I get a gift for everyone, oh no, so and so brought a guest (do I have an extra gift) etc., etc. <br /><br />I gotta tell ya, it has made our holiday so much better! My kids do not miss the gift giving at that time AT ALL! It really made them look forward to Christmas Day even more. Praise the Lord, I think I've raised them right.. lol.<br />AmyAmy @ Keep'n The SunnySidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04819254988051322026noreply@blogger.com
