These are beautiful! We always make presents for grandparents, godparents, and a few other relatives. So far our children haven't given each other gifts on Christmas, but they do on birthdays. We also visit a local crafts show at my husband's college and pick out a few presents there for some other people. Each child gets to write down three wishes for Christmas and normally gets one of them. So we do focus more on the giving aspect also.

ReplyDeleteI love local crafts fairs too, nice way to support local people and offer original gifts.
ReplyDeleteIt is very sweet to see the kids thinking about what they are going to do for another sibling, a favorite uncle or aunt.
Sharing, giving, peace and joy, this is what I want the season to mean in our home.
