I am often asked this time of year about a tradition we started with our kids 16 years ago. I had a 4 year-old and a baby girl and I was literally running the aisles of Walmart on Christmas eve throwing crap in the basket, because She needed that, His friend had one, Now they arent even, and on and on... I was stressed to the max. That year we decided to change it up, if Jesus really was the reason for the season, shouldnt something in our gift-giving reflect that? Andrew and I decided that December 25th that year, around midnight, to change things. Jesus received three gifts at his birth, and goodness knows my kids didnt rank that high, but it was still a place to start. From that year on, our kids received three gifts each: Something you want (video game, doll, etc) Something you need (new coat, a computer if you are headed to college) An event to share (tickets to a sporting event or play that you share with a parent or the whole family) Maybe over Thanksgiving break, I will revive my blog by talking about it.... hmmmm writing again!
