Christmas is a wonderful time of year. The only thing I usually have trouble with is Briar and Brad’s ever-changing Christmas list. They started their list back in August (at my request), but seem to add to it or take away from it daily. They have also made a note of the things they want the most. It made me wonder if all they have thought about is what they will get for Christmas.

I want them to think about what they can give. So … for everything they want to get, they have to list something they want to give. I talked to them about giving from the heart. Gifts can be a hug, a kind word, a hand-made card or gift, or something of your own that may make someone else happy.

The boys have some great ideas and special gifts they hope will make other people’s holiday more special. My hope is that the experience will make Briar and Brad’s Christmas more memorable as well.
