This week I've started putting my lists together as to what needs done! I've pared down those who we will buy for. My dh's family has decided to draw names these last few years! That has been a blessing ~ it really takes away from that attitude of "how much am I going to get". We have also explained to the children that their gifts will be pretty minimal, that our focus this year is to give more to others who are not as fortunate. I am working hard at trying to reduce our debt so I am working on a budget, hoping to complete it soon! And then to start purchasing gifts so there is no mad rush, spend more than I planned to moments as Christmas day draws near.
This year I really am striving to get our family's focus back on Christ in Christmas. And am praying that the Lord will help me in that area!
