It makes me chuckle, this picture. How the tree is dwarfed by the presents. The presents. How far we've come in so many ways.
I can assure you that our Christmas this year will not look like this. For many reasons.
I have moved slowly but surely from the commercialism since that time in my life. I don't want to teach my children that this is what Christmas is all about.
Funny how God moves us. Forward.

Funny picture...it looks like a small tree with all those presents! I am with you on the commercialism of Christmas...Kids don't need everything just love and guidance!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I could not agree more!
ReplyDeleteIt does make your tree look tiny, lol. What a great message to share with your kids.
ReplyDeleteVery True, Christmas is much more than gifts and teaching this to children is so important. Be blessed Nicole.
ReplyDeleteGoodness! "Dwarfed" is the perfect word :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how we change like that isn't it. We too have been down-sizing in the gifts over the years and today we are finding recipes for home-made treats to make for our family.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week.
Blessings and best wishes,
