We decided to do Christmas a little differently this year. We bought gifts for our daughters, sons-in-law, grandkids, some friends, etc., but James and I decided not to buy for each other this year. Instead, we gave money to Gideons International (for the purchase of Bibles), and we bought for a 6-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl who are part of one of the two families our church decided to "adopt" for Christmas this year (through Human Services). THEN, if we have the money to spend after Christmas, we will hit an after-Christmas sale or two if there is anything we want. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was about buying for these children!
We will be spending Christmas day with our best friends and having our Christmas Dinner with them.
I think the only people we still need to buy gifts for are my sister, nephew, and my "mom-away-from-home." And I need to get my Christmas cards made out and sent. I used to always get them mailed on December 1st, but I have gotten so bad about it!
