I took a recent suggestion about displaying nativities in our own yards, instead of worrying about our city and town's being forced to stop the practice, due to offending the outspoken few. Proudly finding many others that did the same.
Keeping up with the demands we put on ourselves at Christmas is challenging to say the least. I figure there are about 100 gifts I have to come up with before the 25th. The goal is to make these gifts look and be awesome, unique and well thought out, but not leave you penniless before the next payday. This takes a great deal of planning, creativity and searching for the perfect present. Attending music and theatrical concerts is achieved by checking the weekly Concert Calendar. Support performances in the community which generate more for years to come. Who doesn't love seeing the Christmas lights and homes with light shows and music that attract all.
Most important is giving to those in need. The Bishop's Christmas room providing toys for girls & boys, was easy to participate in. Take the kids or grandkids along to help pick gifts out. A stop at The Road Home shelter to drop off blankets, brought a desire to give more.
Our generous spirit grows, makes us feel good and blesses all.
