In the past we've had a $200 limit on Christmas for my teenagers and less for my younger children...and we were told this was "sad". <br /><br />With the adoption of my 3 newest kids, we've decided to be even "sadder". We are limiting Christmas to $50 a piece. We gave them lots more for their individual birthdays...after all, that's THEIR birthday. But for Christ's birthday, they will not be the focus this year. We will use the extra money by supporting something like Heifer International, Compassion Child, Samaritan's Purse, etc. <br /><br />Thank you for your heart. I found your blog through A Holy Experience and came looking for your list...and found your delightful soapbox.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03590296148339958197noreply@blogger.com
