Preparing For The Holidays

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!


Everywhere I go, the Christmas decorations are out in the stores! And I even had an email from an old friend yesterday telling me that they were putting up their Christmas lights on the house already!

I guess that means it's time for me to get busy!!!

I have three local grandchildren, whom I spend a little more for on Christmas, as the others have to have theirs shipped.

So, what do I get this year???

I've been thinking about eco-friendly toys for the kids, who range from one year to 12 years of age. Now that we, as a family, have changed our ways and are trying to help preserve this home we have, called planet earth, we would like to make an impact not only by the way we live, but by influencing others as well! Christmas simply seems to be a good time to do it!

I am seriously considering making the grandchildren all matching hats and mittens. Something made personally from Grandma!

Then there's the daughters and DIL's! I've thought about these beautiful slate coaster and placemats, that I saw that simply look divine! But haven't made up my mind completely. What do you think???

Perhaps solar powered lights for each family to help "light up the night"???

Whatever I decide upon, I'd better get started!

Only 47 days to the big event!!!

What are buying for your family members this year???
