Wonderful idea...the one good thing about so many us cutting back and being more careful about spending it has made many families closer by doing things with each other.

What I did was buy a big box of 10 Christmas puzzles at Wal-Mart ($14.95 for all 10 puzzles in one box) and a couple of games and we just put together puzzles and played games all season! We also tried to go to some free Christmas concerts and things in our community. I think our family got closer this way - spending time together - than any gifts we could have bought! This is one Christmas we'll never forget!!! Unfortunately, we have to do the same thing this year, but instead of dreading it I'm actually looking forward to it! I've already bought our new box of 10 puzzles from Wal-Mart (castles this time)!
Good luck with everything! Remember the reason for the season!
