The holidays always seem to fly by. I spend lots of time thinking each December about how this year I'm going to enjoy the time, not stress about the presents, the clean house, the Christmas card list. But then it happens, I find myself the day after Christmas wondering where it all went! And we have it pretty easy because we don't have to travel!
Oh well - the holidays were still fun, if not stress-free. Everyone got what they wanted from Santa. And this year the Welsh family started a new tradition that I really like - the adults decided in lieu of presents for one another, each person would make a donation to the charity of their choice, and then on Christmas, we share where we donated and why. The kids also got in on the act and donated to charities they chose too. It really did help keep the real meaning of Christmas in perspective.

I like the charity idea. Perhaps we will copy your family.
