Now to most people, preparing Christmas gifts would simply mean a dedicated few days of Christmas gift shopping with a slimmer wallet/purse to show for it; to some others who prefer a more personal touch to their gifts or can’t exactly afford to buy everything off the shelf, it means it’s time to get working on Christmas arts and crafts.
I hope you don’t mistaken people who make their own gifts or decorations as cheapskates, because it’s not necessarily true.
On top of the love and dedication it actually takes to knit a sweater, weave/stitch a beaded tapestry or even bake those cute cookies; some monetary investment is required for raw materials. Of course the idea is to work with what you already have but sometimes you might not have enough of it or if it’s about a specific project, you might have to go out and buy all the materials from scratch.



Just a few weeks ago, I went to a family reunion at my grandparents' farm in Mississippi. It was one of those reunions with long tables full of food and third cousins you've never met, lots of iced sweet tea and babies on blankets in the yard and your great-aunt asking about a sibling you don't have... "No, really, Great Aunt Tillie, I just have one brother. I promise."
