    Stringer, I don't WANT anything for Christmas other than the excitement seen through the eyes of a child.

    Some people, primarily children, think that Christmas is about what we GET. If we get what is on our list then we are happy. But they forget the meaning of the season. They forget that we have this holiday because the Christ Child was born.

    I raise my children to understand WHY we have Christmas. Every Christmas Eve a gift from each child is placed under our tree, whether it be a new toy or an old blanket... they toys go to deserving children. The blankets go to Jesus.

    At least my children know that Christmas is the season to give, not to get.

    I know the meaning of Christmas. This year I wasn't suppose to get anything and everyone was like your not getting anything for Christmas. And I didn't even care all I cared about was that I lived another day. And my mom called me and gave me gifts. And I don't really like to celebrate Christmas cause I feel you shouldn't give gifs just cause it's a holiday but because you feel that person derserves one. But I am grateful because I spended Christmas with my family and that's all I could ask for.

    I got to spend time with the ones I love and all the stress of the last few weeks just went away.

    It didn't matter that the stove broke or that I didn't have time to dust downstairs. It didn't matter that I didn't get to finish my shopping, the important people were covered, my kids, my husband.

    No, it's not about the gifts, never has been for me. Funny thing is, even though all kids love toys, love Christmas because of the gifts, my kids have never really been that way.

    Sydney had a few more actual gifts under the tree, but I spent a bit more on Jared, he got a lot of lego, not cheap. Sydney got a lot of books, which I wrapped individually. So, Jared was finished unwrapping but Sydney still had a few things to get to. She was so concerned that Jared would be upset that she wanted to give one of her presents to him.

    Jared just hugged her, told her that was sweet but not necessary, he was really happy with what he got.

    For the first year my kids bought gifts for me and R. They used their allowance, asked us each to take them shopping for the other. They were so exited to watch us open the gifts. They were so happy that they could give a gift.

    I am so proud of my kids.

    I am so proud of my family.

    Contentment, peace, love, that's what I got. :)

    Don't really do "gifts" we exchange a few low cost items. Toni and I spent the day at a local nursing home visiting those that are often forgotten

    One of the things that I received from my daughter was a brown, stuffed frog from Mexico holding onto what would apparently be a miniature string bass!

    For real! :eek:

    Goes great with my stuffed Piranha!

    Thanks!

    That sounds like a very interesting gift Clough!

    I'm the same as you Dahlia, although I do like receiving gifts (:D) I like giving them even more, especially to my little brother, I love watching him open the presents we bought him.

    However...

    I got a new camera... me likes :D

    A Cordless phone (HOORAY!) No more sitting right next to the phone when someone calls, I can walk around with it!
