    At the end of the day it’s up to you what you get for your kids and you shouldn’t have to be worried about being judged for that! Christmas isn’t just about gifts, for me it’s about spending time with family, eating good food and being grateful for everything I have. I love watching my family members opening up the gifts I give them more than anything else, it’s very special ❤

    I am sorry some people say rude things that your kids are not getting enough. I always watch these videos in wonder and think how do they do that much for so many children. You love your children so much and that shows. God bless you all and Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the awesome homeschool Mom tips through the years too. I have one son who has Autism -- and he is the best, but every once in a while I feel burned out or tired and you always smile and have the best, common sense filled, practical ideas here. I do not need the latest gadgets and a million dollars to give him a great education! You tell me that when I need to hear it.

    That disclaimer at the beginning made me laugh. I wrap my kids gifts as soon as they arrive home. My girls like that loom thing but those elastics get everywhere. I always get them books and audio books for gifts so isn't all toys.

    To me (single working mum of 7) that looks like quite a good amount.

    Fun! Thanks for sharing:) we gifted that very same chess set last Christmas to our son and it has held up really well! It's awesome bc each chess and checkers piece have a spot, so its easy to make sure all of the pieces are away before putting it in the cupboard. We do just a small amount of gifts too, and it works well for us that way too:)

    We have 7 kids (6 boys, 1 girl) and have changed how we do birthdays and Christmas, in regards to gifts. We started noticing our kids would play with or use whatever they would receive for a very short time and then no further interest. I have given away and tossed soooo many things over the years (mostly from grandparents who spoil endlessly), because they would just add clutter and stress. We downsized to a tote of Legos, which is what my boys play with almost exclusively every single day, and one basket of other random toys. In fact, they never even care when I go through and purge our toys anymore, as long as it's not the Legos 😂 So, for birthdays, we no longer give material gifts, we give experiences. For Christmas, we do one big family gift and some goodies in stockings. I have learned my kids largely don't care about toys or "things", they want the time and experiences together. Other than that, I give them one minimal basket for Easter and Halloween they all share together. If they need clothes or books, etc, I simply get it for them when the need arises. Not only does it help keep our focus on the Savior, it has greatly reduced my stress during the season, and we spend so much less. And we simply just enjoy it more; watching movies, playing outside, and baking treats together. I know that doesn't work for everyone, but I am so grateful for my kiddos and their simple love for Legos and the outdoors ☺️

    • @shannaebooth

      We have had a very similar experience! We also do experiences for birthdays. Every year I try to simplify our Christmas even more. If you are willing to share an example of a family gift for Christmas, I would love to know 😊

      @@shannaebooth This year we decided on a Nintendo switch. We chose this because we have somewhat strict limits on video games and wanted it to be more of a family activity with games we could all play together. For future years, we've thrown around ideas like a foosball table, or, if we save enough, an ATV of some sort to pull them around on a sled in the winter and help with chores the rest of the year. Maybe a big sectional couch we can all fit on (we only have a tiny hand-me-down sofa from a friend right now 😂) This will be the first year we implement the family gift idea, so each year it will depend a lot on what our budget looks like.

    • @lauram8973
      @lauram8973 Год назад

      We don't really know for sure. There is compelling evidence that Jesus was conceived in mid December and born mid September. Others believe that He was conceived in March and born in December. But as it isn't expressly said in the Word, we don't know for sure. I'm sure happy that He was born though and we cam celebrate every day!
