The Problem with Christmas

I have never blogged before so I don't know if Bill McKibben reads this or not but if you do thank you for writing this. I have sent this out to my family hoping that some will take this to heart. I have even sent it back to myself to remind me not to get caught up in the whole Christmas mania!
I also have to share with you something my Mom and Dad have done with all of their Grandchildren for years. Instead of Christmas Gifts they started Grandma and Grandpa adventures. They have gone to live theater productions, Christmas programs at various Pioneer Villages, Glow in the dark bowling with a movie, a day at a sports park this is just to name a few. When the number of Grandchildren got larger they just had two events one for the older cousins and one for the younger cousins. Now, for Christmas our whole families are involved in a Grandma and Grandpa adventure as they book a block of rooms at a hotel that has an indoor water activity park etc. and we celebrate an evening meal together and a breakfast the next day. Along with some great memories as funny things always happen either in the pool or just visiting. Everyone's presence is our gift, and family is so precious.
Enjoy the season.
