...until Christmas! Can you believe it? What are you doing this year? Are you simplifying? Are you shopping early? Have you gotten a huge bonus that is allowing you to splurge?
Haven't done anything. In fact, I hadn't even thought about Christmas until you asked what the kids wanted. I'm not really worried about it. Christmas isn't one of those things that I make a big deal out of when it comes to gifts and going crazy about stuff. I kinda love it that way.
We are are doing simple this year. I am looking forward to scaling back and trying to be creative. I think I'm finally really getting it--it's not about the gifts!!
We're trying to simplify in the form of gifts, BUT as far as traveling and schedules go... I'm afraid it's not so simple... looks like a hectic holiday schedule again this year, but we'll get to see all sorts of people we love dearly, so that's what I love about Christmas!
Oh Becky!!!! I thought 10 weeks - She's doing a new challenge...focus...ahhh...this totally alarmed me! 10 weeks til Christmas! WOah! I'd better get moving. I do have some aprons embroidered for some Christmas gifts but that's about all I've gotten accomplished early thus far[There's 9 of them so that was a feat in itself]...Still waiting on that BIG bonus! :) My goal has been getting Paige's stocking finished before Dec. 1. I MIGHT make it!
I am married to Andy Dietz, pastor of First Baptist Church, Groom, TX. We've been in the ministry for over 35 years. We have four grown children and 10 beautiful grandchildren! I write to share what God is teaching me (it's a continual work in progress!) and to open the window to my life and allow you to look in.
