Don’t put out presents til Christmas, got it 🫡

2024/12/15 Edited to

... Read moreWhen it comes to Christmas, anticipation is part of the magic. While it may be tempting to open that beautifully wrapped gift under the tree early, delaying the excitement can lead to a more meaningful celebration. Many families cherish the tradition of saving gifts until Christmas morning, reinforcing the spirit of giving and gratitude. For parents, creating a countdown to Christmas day can keep the excitement alive through the weeks leading up to the holiday. Simple activities, such as an Advent calendar or holiday crafts, can engage children and build anticipation. Often, these moments become wonderful memories that families cherish in years to come. Additionally, focusing on thoughtful gift ideas that reflect the recipient's interests can make the waiting worthwhile. Whether it’s a unique toy, a personalized book, or even an experiential gift like a day at a local amusement park, these choices convey love and consideration. In the context of younger children, especially, it’s important to cultivate patience and the understanding that good things come to those who wait. Incorporating stories about the values of generosity and appreciation during this time can enhance children's comprehension of the holiday spirit, beyond merely receiving gifts. Ultimately, the joy of Christmas lies not just in the gifts themselves, but in the love and togetherness that the holiday embodies. By waiting to unwrap presents, families can enjoy a richer, more fulfilling celebration that leaves lasting impressions well beyond the holiday season.

I’ve been looking for some nice, homemade gifts for the adults in my family. Usually I buy wine or rubs but this year I decided to make my own rub! You can probably find most of these spices right in your cabinet at home so it may cost you much less. I never seem to have anything ‘lying around’

Outlaw Kitchen_"Fake It Til You Make It?" Hell Nah...
A lot of people want the look, but not the work that comes with it. “Fake it till you make it” might fool others, but it won’t build real freedom. Uncle Irv keeps it simple—discipline, consistency, and effort are what separate dreams from reality. Stop chasing the image and start earning the life.

Cute christmas photos don’t have to be expensive🎄
This seemed to turn out to be more of a rant about if I felt like taking them in general was worth it. Now don’t get me wrong I love a Christmas photo, family photo, or any kind of photo for that matter!!! However typically I’m the one that enjoys being behind the camera and not in front of it!!

1️⃣ Pick ONE vibe — don’t mix everything If you try to do cute + sad + chaotic, you’ll end up annoyed. Choose based on your energy that night. 2️⃣ Simple food that doesn’t stress you out You don’t need a Pinterest spread. That’s a trap. Pick ONE sweet + ONE drink: • Hot cocoa

Do you thrift your Christmas Presents?
Thrifting has become super popular lately and I really enjoy it. Last time I went, I found a ton of cute science/animal fact books I wanted to give my friend’s kids for Christmas, but it got me thinking, is this something other people do or is it just me? #lemon8contest #letschat #thriftin
