Christmas time... A time of celebration of Jesus' birth. It is important not to forget what Christmas is about. That is why we do something special on Christmas. Instead of going out and buying a bunch of toys for each of our five (soon to be six) children, we buy them three gifts each. This is what the wise men brought to Jesus at his birth (gold, frankincense, and myrrh). It is a good theme, we decided to stick to it. Not only does it keep Christmas spending in control, but it helps the kids learn the real "reason for the season".
We still buy them trinkets for the stockings in addition to the three gifts, but we are sticking to three main gift packages for each child. Please leave some comments on how you make it financially through the Christmas season.....
Sorry for the longtime between posts....
