we didn't give any gifts that we felt obligated to give...
we took the time to make something for those we love...
we refused to buy anything made in a factory or overseas...
we limited ourselves to one gift per person....
Would our gift giving habits change?
Would that be good?
Just something to think about....

I hope that helps. I can't wait for Christmas either and homemade gifts are the best
If you are still insterested in the free Gooseberry Patch cookbooklets I have a link on my blog.
ReplyDeleteSomething to think about indeed! I love homemade gifts and could totally get into that. Say, did you ever find the link to the free fall cookbook? Hope so!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the idea of not giving gifts that we feel "obligated" to give. I would much rather help a needy person than give a gift to someone who has an abundance just because they gave me something. Some are gift givers by nature, I am more of an acts of service kind of gal myself.
ReplyDeletethis has become mostly what we do. I feel so much less stressed!
ReplyDeleteAnnemarie,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've found a way for your family that is less stressful.
Happy Christmas season!

We only buy 1 gift per person and sometimes I will make something. I have a question about communion. what is communion and who can and can't take parin it? I just recently gave my heart to God, I have so much to learn. I so enjoy your blog.
