- Three Gifts - Jesus received three gifts from the Wise Men after His birth, so we honor this by giving all of our children three gifts. We give them one article of clothing, one book and one toy or activity. Besides doing this for our kids, I also practice this for our nieces and nephews, and our kids for their birthdays. It is an easy way to think through gifts, not go overboard, and to keep in mind why we're getting gifts in the first place.

We have also given kid-friendly nativity sets to our godchildren once they become toddler age, similar to this one from Fisher-Price:
- Celebrate Jesus's Birthday - Celebrate Christmas the same way you would celebrate anyone else's birthday. For us, that means starting our day with Birthday Waffles and singing Happy Birthday.

There's a quilt designer in Nashua who designed a Nativity advent calendar this year. It has ornaments to hang on it, I used star buttons and sent it to my great nephew. His mom loved it! I make all the kids fabric advent calendars and each one is tailored to the family. Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteThe Trading.biz review paints Coinbase as a very beginner-friendly platform thanks to its simple interface, strong security reputation, and straightforward buying process; at the same time, it points out that the fees are noticeably higher than on many other exchanges, so while it’s great for easy and safe entry into crypto, it’s not the most cost-efficient option for active or advanced traders https://trading.biz/crypto-brokers/coinbase-review.
