Wouldn't it be interesting if we eliminated the shopping for presents, and everyone that wanted to exchange gifts would have to MAKE it? Whether it be a quilt, decorated towels, a plate full of cookies, or a special pie. OR maybe a "coupon book" with coupons saying you would cook their favorite meal one day, clean their house, sit with a loved one while the couple goes out for "date night". Can we DOWNSIZE our Christmases?? How about visiting nursing homes and spending time with those that have no one. Help serve at a soup kitchen? Just give of ourselves and not THINGS. Am I completely off-base here?Can we set an example for our kids and show the true meaning of Christmas as we head off to church, and put OTHERS first and celebrate JESUS's birthday? Is this realistic AT ALL or am I just being silly?
