So fun! <br /><br />While I don't have children now, one of my favorite things as I look back on growing up was that a month before Christmas, my parents had us go through all of our toys and donate a few items so that we knew what giving to others meant. My dad was also hugely involved with Toys for Tots and we always got to pick toys to purchase for others during that time. Obviously, Ryan wouldn't understand what is going on this year....but it would be cool to start in a year or two.

When we have kids, I plan to ask friends and family to contribute to a bank account we set up for them. Just whatever they might have spent on a gift earmarked for college or something down the road.Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697383687935386178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679869521506445566.post-74476894565242005052014-12-22T20:45:13.272-05:002014-12-22T20:45:13.272-05:00Oh my word I can't believe people would look a...Oh my word I can't believe people would look at you sideways for not getting your five month old anything. This is my problem with the season... This is obviously my opinion but I'm on the same page as you... We didn't get our daughter anything for her first Christmas because she was only two months old... I like the phrase you adopted :) it's the one we use every holiday (birthdays, christmas, etc) Tawnya Fausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344990268295332969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679869521506445566.post-2456080362055082832014-12-22T19:25:05.595-05:002014-12-22T19:25:05.595-05:00We go with the 3 presents like Jesus.
