We haven't given gifts in many years. I look at my healthy, beautiful children trying so hard to make it in the world, with school and jobs. I see their amazing spouses, and their sweet children that know no different about gifts. I see a soldier saying good bye again this week to my daughter - void of any Christmas cheer. I see the economy eating us alive - and survival is a basic need. I look at all of the year round blessings we have, not monetary but spiritual and deep. And it's then that you realize - your cup is overflowing... and that is Christmas... simple. Just wanted to tell you that I love you dearly. You are a very important part of my life, and my hearts memories. xoxoxo nic
Kristin, What a pleasant surprise to see a face I knew I had seen before up there at my Aunt Vera's ward. It was very sweet of you to come chat with me and my family at the Frazier's home. I love your idea on simplifying. Now if I only knew how!!
What a beautiful nativity! I wish you the most success in your simplifying. I am putting an over the top emphasis on the Savior this year. Hoping it will make it even more special. And Merry Christmas to you!

Good luck, my friend! I am hoping my early shopping will allow me to do the same. So far, so good.
Let's do it!!

I've been trying to do the same thing....and in many areas have done just that....It feels so good.
We have most def simplified this year, and I am loving it!
Love the nativity scene pics. I keep finding our baby Jesus in odd places after my granddaughter leaves
