Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store.  Maybe Christmas, perhaps… means a little bit more!

How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Now that I’m all grown up (sort of) and can buy things that I want when I want them, Christmas has changed.  It’s not all about the gifts.  I can appreciate and look forward to the smiles & laughter, the food and traditions, the memories old and new.

I take care in how I wrap the gifts I give, putting in a little more time and love.  Handmade gifts and tags aren’t because I’m frugal, they’re because I care.

I linger a little bit longer at red lights admiring neighborhood Christmas lights noticing the time and love people have but into lighting up the night.

Baking cookies is less of a chore and more like creating little edible morsels of joy for loved ones.

Take time this holiday season to appreciate the things and people around the tree instead of what’s under the tree.
