the christmas spirit

Not long now! No doubt everyone is frantic buying the last Christmas presents (or first ones).

Frantic, frantic!

Stress, stress

You know what your kids want, you have heard it for the last ……

But Christmas time does not have to be about stress and filling the stockings and Christmas tree with everything.

It is a time to share, a time to reflect, a time to remember. A time to be grateful.

Grateful for the little things

The small things

The old things

So why not encourage this and embrace this? How many old toys and old possessions are loved for a short period of time and then forgotten about?

Maybe you don’t have to refresh them. Rather give them away. Teach your children that there are less fortunate people. Christmas time for some families is a challenging time. By donating at least one old item they can help other less fortunate.

Create some toys together.

Create some blocks together.

Eco-friendly, environmentally friendly, creative, imaginative, appreciation.

Create a special something as a family for other family members or friends.

You don’t have to have a big budget. You don’t have to have much of a budget.

A little refresh, imagination, creativity, play and gratefulness can be the very best thing this Christmas.
