I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

I really do! I love everything about this holiday season! I love the decorations, I love to bake, I love to make crafts with my kids, I love shopping, and wrapping, and the music...I love IT ALL! It makes me happy!

I came across this today and it gave me chills: watch the video please...seriously.

We are trying to focus on a "smarter Christmas" this year. We have been talking to the girls about how we need to be making good decisions about our money and focus on quality, not quantity. I think they get it and it makes me really proud of them. In order to do this we are following this theme:

Something to wear,
Something you need,
Something you want,
Something you need.


My girls however, being the smart ones that they are, decided that since Santa does not have to actually spend money they are asking him for the really expensive stuff...LOL!!! Pretty smart girls hmmm???

Anyway, just wanted to share that link today as it really spoke to me! Happy Holiday season everyone!!!

That is too funny. I ran across that same web site last week and was so inspired. We've been talking alot about doing for others this year. I think this whole economy thing is a blessing in disguise!

This is what we've been talking about this year too. Thanks for sharing the link. Christmas is stressing me out too much this year. That's not how it should be. My daughter is also quite smart. She's also just asking santa for the expensive stuff. I need Santa this year! :)
