Thinking small this year.
There is no way I will be able to buy just one gift this year but I am getting closer. This year I posed an idea to my family and in-laws, of a gift exchange, or secret Santa if you will. They were for it. What it means is we will choose a name and only buy a gift for that one person. I gave all the members participating a plain envelope with a recipe card inside and instruction to write their name on the recipe card and 5 or more gift ideas on the card. We will then draw an envelope on Thanksgiving day (pick a card, any card) and whoever you pick you get one or more gifts for, not totaling more than $50. Then of course by Christmas we will exchange gifts and reveal ourselves as the secret Santa. Maybe in the future it will get a little bigger so more than our immediate family will be in on it and more money will be saved. Christmas will once again become about Christ and family togetherness and not material things. I think I'm going to like this tradition. 😍
Thanks for reading and keep on crafting and DIY-ing kiddies.
