I don't care how old you get, there's always a little bit of the child that we once were!
Today, while picking up some last minute groceries, I see the "ribbon candy" that I know my husband likes. I put it in the cart, and here him exclaim, "It's Christmas!"
If you think back, and notice this year, most of the things that we enjoy about the holidays are not the expensive gifts, or the money spent. It's the little things like "ribbon candy" that remind us of other days, and bring back such wonderful memories.
Remember this as you're planning and doing things for your kids this Season!
It's not the money or the toys that they will take with them into their adult years, it's their memories of family and loved ones!
Make memories with your children. Take the time to laugh with them. Bake cookies, play games, tell stories! The popular word is "engage" with your kids. Connect with them! You'll be glad you did, because before long, they may be hundreds of miles away, with their own family and their own decorations. But you'll both have the memories that you took the time to create this year!
