Its almost Christmas time!

Its almost Christmas! Are you ready? Christmas and family traditions can create so many precious memories for kids! I listen to my older ones saying,"Remember when........" with so much fun and enthusiasim and laughter, that it inspires me to do more!

  we always exchange names so that everyone buys something for one person in the family. That is so much fun! It is rewarding for me to see my children love the excitment of keeping a secret and delighting in giving a gift to a family member.

   I have always wanted a nativity set. this year I found one that is child friendly. I love the idea, because I want one that my kids can enjoy, touch and handle without me always cautioning..."Now, don't break that." They don't need a memory like that!

  This one looks really fun. Bright colors and unbreakable! Sorry the picture is blurry, but if you click on the link it will take you to Christian Book.com and there will be a better picture!
