Our Christmas Shopping

is not done yet. But I know what I need, sort of.

We have decided to follow this saying for gift giving:

Something they want
Something to wear
Something they need
Something to read

Got the reading covered. Still deciding if underwear counts as a need or a wear....

Having those guidelines will keep the commercial side of the season of Christ at bay. I stole this saying from Melanie Bush, I also stole her pizza sauce recipe.

I like it! I need some guidelines too. We use, "Something they want, something they need, and something to cherish." For the kids anyway. We also rotate families for gift exchanges, and for a while I've done something, "for going out; for staying in; for laughs." It helps me SO much to have something like this to steer my gift planning!
