It would be so much easier and more meaningful if we could get others to feel the same - especially family members that insist on buying the latest greatest plastic toys - although very generous - I would just love to have a coupon for "babysitting"!Mrs. Gray's Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598848369138213143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33872673.post-15569925265717279482007-12-06T15:27:00.000-05:002007-12-06T15:27:00.000-05:00I am one of Christy's friends but wanted to give y...I am one of Christy's friends but wanted to give you an idea for Christmas presents. Instead of gift exchanging for the adults in my sis-n-laws family, they are pooling that money together and using it to help a needy family. I think they are still giving the young children gifts though, b?c it is Christmas and most kids would be heartbroken to get nothing. You could also give people gifts that are basically donations in those peoples names. Most charities will give out some kind of card and stuff to the person whom you donated the money for. This great with all rescues. Defintely decreases the commercialism of the holiday and helps others , be it animals or humans have a happier holiday b/c of it. Hope this was a good idea for you:) Stephanie ( ex- pet sitter)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33872673.post-29888046993247747762007-11-23T07:35:00.000-05:002007-11-23T07:35:00.000-05:00Oh well, I guess I'd better go to my gift closet a...Oh well, I guess I'd better go to my gift closet and get out all those cute, bought presents I have for you and give them to somebody else!

Anyway, basically I was recommending teh Ultimate Southern Living Christmas Book. There are lots of great ideas for hand made Christmas gifts. My favorite is the Christmas Scent (a collection of fruits and spices wrapped up with a handwritten card on how to simmer it on the stove to make the whole house smell great). Love it! <BR/><BR/>Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. And if this ends up being a double comment... oh well. :)<BR/>BeckyBecky @ BoysRuleMyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078001998434425784noreply@blogger.com
