The Aftermath


Wow! What a mess. We hauled out 4 garbage bags of boxes and ripped up wrapping paper. I think we...no...I know we had excess of gifts this year. From all the clothes to all the toys, it's really astonishing. I'm making a new New Year's Resolution right now...next year...I'm asking in advance that everyone give only half of what they gave this year to the kids next year on Christmas. Whatever you gave this year, thank you. Now divide that by 2 and that will be more than enough for them next year. Acutally, on second thought, buy the same amount, give some to the kids and donate the rest to a shelter or a family who is finacially having a difficult time. That way, our kids will have a lovely christmas, enjoy opening presents, know they are loved by all of you, and other children will also get those same feelings...all because you chose to donate presents to them. God is so good to us and has given us more than we need, now it's time to start sharing it with those who really need it. By the way, this includes me!
