Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love the decorations, being surrounded by family, time of quiet reflection and busy (sometimes crazy) get-togethers with loved ones.
And then of course there are the presents. I used to have a bit of a “love/hate” relationship with Christmas presents. I loved being able to give nice gifts, but always felt like we had to keep up with what everyone else was doing. The whole commercialization and keeping up with dollar amounts was getting to me.
That’s when I decided to focus on more meaningful homemade gifts. I put some thought, time, effort and lots of love into each present I made. What I didn’t do was put a lot of money into them.
