It's taken me a few years to...I'm with you. It's taken me a few years to suppress the desire to shower my kids with gifts because my parents always overdid it, but we've got it down to one gift from Santa, one from mom & dad, plus the girls exchange something small and so do the boys. And I'm all done, even the stockings! I love that I can relax and focus on fun and meaningful memories now. Looking forward to the concert with you guys! How's the house selling/finding going?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371564081167103606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568100805719129074.post-37718025078641488482009-11-29T21:48:13.992-07:002009-11-29T21:48:13.992-07:00Amen, Sista!Amen, Sista!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621422609538940700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568100805719129074.post-12770993861619911002009-11-29T17:24:33.110-07:002009-11-29T17:24:33.110-07:00Ditto to what SHE said!

It was my first and LAST black friday. <br />I really struggle with even liking Christmas bc of all this. Seriously. My kids need to learn to do with less, not make me lists of things they HAVE to have. I wish we could afford to go to some third world country over Christmas, to show our kids how blessed they truly are.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210229216055218902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568100805719129074.post-13373330165494838682009-11-29T17:14:00.191-07:002009-11-29T17:14:00.191-07:00amen!

I understand wanting to save money, but the mindset, the crowds, the general gluttony... it's just so distateful.<br /><br />We all need to simplify, myself included. "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." I hope the people I love know where my heart is.<br /><br />xoKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892573713754086021noreply@blogger.com
