"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other."
Words of Wisdom by Burton Hillis
A wonderful reminder at this busy time of what this season is truly about: love. Don't get swept away by the materialistic ads and end up buying more than you can responsibly afford. Instead, make lasting memories by sharing quality time with family and friends. There are so many activities you can enjoy in family togetherness that are free: play a board game while enjoying hot cocoa and home baked Christmas cookies; let the kids camp out with pillows, blankets, or sleeping bags under the Christmas tree, falling asleep beneath the sparkling lights (be sure to unplug the lights once the kids have fallen asleep); put on knit hats and mittens and go Christmas caroling around your neighborhood (let your kids invite a friend to come along and sleep over); bundle up and take a walk or a drive around town to look at Christmas lights and decorations your neighbors have put up; spend time as a family volunteering to help package food, wrap or deliver gifts to less fortunate people - there are many organizations to choose from that are looking for extra hands and hearts at Christmas time!
