I am 26 years old, live in Australia and ...So true. I am 26 years old, live in Australia and feel completely out of place as part of a 'me' generation. One girl at work put a picture of the prada handbag she wanted on the fridge so her husband wouldn't get the gift wrong - she was genuinely upset when he got her a prada purse instead. Another was overjoyed when her husband got her a gorgeous eternity ring - which she went to the jeweler alone and picked out, got sized, and gave her husband the details to pick it up and pay for it. My husband and I are blessed to both have good paying jobs, but with total honesty I said to my husband that for Christmas I wanted to spend time with our families, and as for gifts, we made eachother something - I made my husband a quilt and he made a gorgeous bench which we sit on in our back yard together with a cup of tea and play backgammon. I actually got paid out at work for our gifts, but I dont care - what a shame our society cant be more like days of old!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689937614607620393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-24650003720168030872009-12-28T11:52:57.358-06:002009-12-28T11:52:57.358-06:00DEAR MRS.

I'm encouraged as I just visited a site where they believe Christmas is a pagan holiday. <br /><br />I didn't have much to give to my children this year, but it is not in the gifts, and our family knows this.

I watched "Little Women" the other day and was reminded of how we can find such simple pleasures in eachother's company, as well as in the little things that we so often take for granted. Again, thank you for this post. <br /><br />AmberAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17011927456776403559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-1230366449007524972009-12-17T17:06:35.314-06:002009-12-17T17:06:35.314-06:00Thank you June, what a wonderful, wonderful post. ...Thank you June, what a wonderful, wonderful post. :) Bless you and yours this Christmas, and enjoy that snow! xoSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489292370680405548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-17884514802141094262009-12-17T13:15:52.223-06:002009-12-17T13:15:52.223-06:00An inspiring and uplifting post. thank you for sha...An inspiring and uplifting post. thank you for sharing :o)<br />Happy Christmas to you too.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354552657280715285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-82805177098477510792009-12-17T12:36:47.696-06:002009-12-17T12:36:47.696-06:00This was a beautiful post and so true about how ou...This was a beautiful post and so true about how our material possessions abound these days compared to generations before.<br /><br />I posted some classy yet thrifty and homemade Christmas ideas here if anyone is interested:<br /><br />http://womenlivingwell-courtney.blogspot.com/2009/12/thrifty-thursday-inexpensive-christmas.html<br /><br />CourtneyCourtney (Women Living Well)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09656103671995728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-46535281851501395752009-12-17T11:06:38.711-06:002009-12-17T11:06:38.711-06:00Wonderful Post, filled with so many suggestions an...Wonderful Post, filled with so many suggestions and so very encouraging. Retailers do a wonderful job of telling us how our families should look at the holidays. It is not hard for anyone to feel discouraged when held up to retail standards even those who have so much to be grateful for can feel sure they are missing something thanks to all the many commercials on T.V. as well that tell us all so. Thanks for posting this important message and for all the wonderful ideas as well. ~Merry Christmas & Blessings HeatherThe Watts Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06810135405849803475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-46360344627515071762009-12-17T10:57:47.648-06:002009-12-17T10:57:47.648-06:00This is a wonderful reminder.

It is such a refreshing way to truly shine for Christ and remember the Christ in CHRISTmas. We are not a buy nothing family, but we do make many home made goodies and purchase 3 gifts for each child as a reminder that the wise men bought Jesus 3 gifts. Thank you for this post and the encouragement it offers along with the ideas.Katherynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01645886692174489755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-19680863229654314052009-12-17T10:36:17.655-06:002009-12-17T10:36:17.655-06:00How true.
