I agree completely --- expensive gifts are not the be-all & end-all of Christmas.<br />However, unfortunately, I worry that some kids grow up with that notion ... plus, "It's all about ME !"jeff7salterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530506418169450704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567078841309273948.post-16269077293132709882012-12-04T20:18:13.984-06:002012-12-04T20:18:13.984-06:00This was a wonderful memory Jeff.

So descriptive with enough humor sprinkled in. these are the kinds of things that resonate in our hearts - not the ripping open the wrapping paper and mountain of gifts.

[I mean, I'm sure at least one of us grumbled about it selfishly.] They could've taken the easy way out and relented to the grumbling. But then we would've never had the opportunity to participate and witness this blessing.jeff7salterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530506418169450704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567078841309273948.post-15784610656235076382012-12-04T18:05:25.633-06:002012-12-04T18:05:25.633-06:00What wonderful memories!

If I'd waited until today, I might not even remember them.
