Briefly

I want my kids to look back on their Christmases and think about their family surrounding them, these wonderful, magical meals together. I want to make all these moments magical but I don't want to revolve things around gifts.
We try to show our kids how other ways of loving can look. By paring down holiday shopping lists for cost reasons or to avoid exhaustion and overconsumption, we are embracing experiences over material possessions.
As a single mom, I knew that I didn't want my children to become materialistic and obsessed with all the things. My kids get three Christmas presents, inspired by the Three Wise Men.
