I had a few emails/questions that I wanted to clarify regarding our Handmade Christmas.
1. No, my kids don't feel deprived
2. No, my kids do not spoil "Santa" for anyone else
3. We do "buy" gifts...
4. YES, I do shop at chain stores when I need to....geesh!
5. We try to give at least 1 handmade gift to everyone that is on our list, and we sometimes include a handmade item with a purchased item.
Our point was to cut down on all the "Stuff" that is given at Christmas. To remember what the "Meaning" of Christmas is and get to the meat and potatoes of what they really wanted.
Also, I would rather my kids give a gift from their heart, made from their hands and their imaginations than go buy some "thing" from a store.
Merry Christmas!
