My kids understand that it is not all about the presents. Every year since being married, we have taken the kids to the store to buy toys for those less fortunate. We found this truly humbled our children. They have become thankful for anything under the tree. Some years have been better than others. Such is life! :) Doing things together as a family is where it is at doing something we know God would want us to do. And it doesn't have to be spending money on others. We may try something new this year like a soup kitchen or a nursing home visit. Have to start planning now! Glad you pointed out just how close Christmas is! :)Tracy Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818322348164366661noreply@blogger.com
