Usually there are tags on the trees with the name of a family and some items on their wish list. You pick a tag and purchase gifts for that family.<br /><br />KatrinaRootsAndWingsCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941828347260961696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-77098506828891716362009-11-02T07:46:13.192-08:002009-11-02T07:46:13.192-08:00I loved reading this post!!

This year we will be doing christmas different...My dad will be home from Iraq but he has to go back before christmas so we will be celebrating it early. It makes you realize the importance of family and the true meaning of christmas when you celebrate it a little different. <br />Also, Anjeanette I want you to know that your story hit close to home. I too had a hard getting my son. I cherish every moment with him. <br />I hope you all have a great holiday season as well and thanks for the reminder of the holidays and to take it slow and cherish all the moments and memories:)SumnSuttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077543758221490904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-76069954812892009412009-11-01T07:57:52.979-08:002009-11-01T07:57:52.979-08:00I try to cut out the shopping crazyness by getting...I try to cut out the shopping crazyness by getting things through out the year. When I see something that is a good deal and know someone who I think would like it, I pick it up. I also keep a price point in mind...it the item is more than that I don't get it. I have a bin in my closet where I keep it all. By the time Christmas gets here there are bags on top of the bin. I keep a list of who I bought what.<br /><br />Also I shop for people when the my boys bring home the school fund raiser catalog. I know that what I am getting isn't the most I could get for the money but....this way the school gets some $$ too.<br /><br />Katrina<br />P.S.

I think those events really do help set the mood of the season. And it's making fantastic memories of some wonderful time spent with each other. Plus who doesn't love a reason to get a little (or a lot) dressed up!? We go see a free version put on by a dance studio. I also always wish to go to Mannheim Steamroller. Ah, to win free tickets!RootsAndWingsCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941828347260961696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-35304147340281377962009-11-01T07:11:56.035-08:002009-11-01T07:11:56.035-08:00I am sick to death of the crazy shopping every yea...I am sick to death of the crazy shopping every year trying to find the "perfect" gift for everyone. I'd like to slow down this year and enjoy the family and special "memory" moments. Like choosing a tree & decorating it with the kids, drinking hot cocoa, making cookies...I just bought tickets to "The Nutcracker". I'd really like to focus on the family this year instead of the buy, buy, buy mentality that has taken over in the past.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701552933130180812noreply@blogger.com
