Don’t get me wrong, I’m no scrooge, but I don’t get into the Christmas spirit because of gifts. Let’s be honest: there are very few people on this planet that actually enjoy being stuck in a mall, rushing around for gifts that mean very little, but cost quite a lot. Give an Experience. A Vacation.

Have a large extended family that buys gifts f or everyone ? The Gift Exchange Game will eliminate that stress, but add loads of laughs, smiles, and memories to your next holiday gathering. Years ago, my extended family decided to play a gift exchange game. For example, my family of 4 takes 4 gifts to the exchange.

Now that the holiday season is underway, it’s probably a little difficult to scale back the consumerism. However, it is possible to have a greener Christmas, as well as find gifts that are a little more eco-friendly. As you create your gift list, really think about who’s on it, and what would be meaningful to them.

Things mattered to them, even something as small as Christmas wrapping was considered precious. My Aunt, God rest her soul, saved Christmas paper and those silly little paper bows from year to year. She would very carefully (and slowly) unwrap her gifts so as to be able to preserve the paper. Ask for gift boxes.

I look forward to Christmas and the month of December all year and once it’s here, it always seems to fly by. It is so easy for the month to get lost in the commercialism and the frenzied pace and while it is fun to receive a gift, my husband and I want the month to be focused on our faith and our family. Go Christmas Caroling.
