My perspective on Christmas has changed dramatically over the past few years. Less is more. We do Pollyanna for my 6 nephews (involving my 2 boys) and my 2 boys each get 3 gifts and a few stocking stuffers from Santa. Each year, they are sooo excited about each of the 3 gifts (a quilt and 2 gifts that I have selected but not yet purchased). I don't go broke or stress about getting a ton of stuff. They are excited about the three things they get. My husband and I exchange 1 gift each. I also buy a gift for each of my parents.
I don't want to stress or rush to get quilts done for Christmas. This year, I pieced a quilt for my father that is getting done by a LAQ. I am going to make a quilt for each of my two boys and I am done.
