What's Your Favorite Christmas Memory?

Share with me your favorite Christmas memory!  It could be a gift, or just a special time that you shared with your family.

I know for myself, my most memorable Christmas was a Christmas when my grandfather had passed away on Christmas eve, we didn't have much money so all we received were just one item our parents had chosen of theirs to pass down to us.  It was the most beautiful Christmas of my life.  Even being a bratty teen, I could appreciate the hugeness of that Christmas and how we just truly celebrated the meaning of the season, which is love, family and remembering that Christ is the reason for the season.

So, if you are worried about struggling to be able to provide your children with the most expensive gadgets, don't fret.  We all struggle at times and it's during those times when we learn what we're made of!  Family and being together and making memories is what the season is all about!  

If you are in a position of privlege, I urge you to try and help a family in need that you know that may not be able to do for their families, you have no idea how the kindness of strangers can go to boost someone's days!

Oh the weather outside is..... Let it Snow, Let it Snow.... Christmas is COMING

Sssh....  Don't tell my family...  In their minds, I think I'm always right...  Well, I am MOST of the time....

Tip #1

GIFT BUYING:

Ok, so it's October and if you haven't already, you definitely need to make some time in your calender to go over your Christmas buying list.  Then go over it again, then again... 

Make Sure to Include EVERYONE: 

Trust me, I have been at many family functions where myself and my children were forgotten time after time and that's NEVER a fun feeling!  So, make sure to include at least a tiny something for anyone you think might be around when your opening gifts!  Christmas is a season where you truly should put all the "emotional junk" to the side and really get in the spirit of giving.  When you gift those it's hard to "gift", you would be amazingly SURPRISED at how it releases you!  It's the best feeling in the world!

EASILY FORGOTTEN:

Sure, obviously our children and our families are at the forefront of our minds when we go buying gifts for people.  However, try to really think widespread about doing even a little for other's outside your "usual" circle of friends!  Find someone that you think might not be thought of this season and do something extra special for them!  You would be amazed at how a little thoughtful gift can go in changing someone's who world!

Some Ideas of Folks You Might Want To Include:

Co-worker, Bosses, folks in your Sunday School class, your Preacher and his family (This can be a "family" gift, your neighbors, a homeless organization (or a recovery center, or women's shelter), extended family...

Remember, when you are going over your list, be like Santa.... Check it twice and three times and even four times...  Keep a little notebook with you so when your doing something or you are somewhere and a name pops up, write it down!  It's so easy to get so involved in our lives that we just overlook people without meaning to!  

Where are you in your Christmas preperations?  What's always first on your list??  Decorations, Gifts, do you make things yourself???  Share your Christmas ideas with us!
