T’is the Season

Whether its New Baby’s first Christmas or your toddlers, the decisions you make now will define the rest of your Christmases together!
Shall we get them all excited about the Blinking Lights, Lots of Candy Canes, Lots of soon forgotten presents! Or the real spirit of Christmas, which is the Birthday date of the son of God (not Santa!), and the hope for world wide harmony. This is the real choice.
I  have a friend who’s child is now grown and gone, and Mom just never fell into the whole Commercial concept of Christmas, so It was never celebrated in her home! No tree, No presents and just a modest dinner with perhaps a trifle for dessert! Her daughter never suffered and is a normal happy young adult!

Do know that over giving is not a good thing for young children, they get use to it and come to expect it every year, not concerned that the gifts they are asking for are more and more expensive as they get older.

The real Spirit of Christmas is the spirit of caring and giving to others. If you try to instill this concept from the beginning things should remain in the right perspective. Sit down with you child and put together a list of gifts that others might like, something for Grandma, something for Grandpa and don’t forget Aunté Alice.  Why not try you and your childs hand at making Homade presents that will be extra special and cherished for years to come!

Your child will understand that it is better to give then to receive, and will never be disappointed.

No one is ever to young or to old to climb on to Santa’s lap to whisper in to his ear! But if the little ones seems teary eyed, do not force them! You will only end up with a terrible photo of Santa and your child and Santa phobia for years to come. If they don’t want to go you take their turn and show them how it’s done, I’ve done this myself and Santa as well as my child were delighted!

Well I guess that’s all I have to say now and wish you all a safe and Happy Holiday season…………See you all next year!
