Last year we cut the cord on Christmas gifts. We don't exchange gifts. It's wonderful and freeing. In fact, I had time to have my grandma visit for a few days this last weekend and it was relaxed and enjoyable because I wasn't thinking of all the things I had to get done. We have family coming in this next weekend too. I don't feel the usual stress of getting everything done - shopping, baking, etc.
Of course, we decorate and celebrate. There are Christmas cookies and gingerbread houses. But it is all done to spend time together.
Christmas means more now.
I saw this video on my friend's blog, loved it and wanted to share it here.
Feel free to visit our personal favorite ministry and donate.

Love the video. This economy is hurting a ton of people right here at home. You don't have to look very far to see opportunities to give nearby. =) Merry Christmas!
