I am back home after a sweet and meaningful week with family in Texas. Thank you for all your sentiments and kind messages.
I had been planning to write about alternatives to giving toys and other landfill-bound, house-cluttering non-essentials for Christmas this year, but another blogger, Little Ocean beat me to it. Because she did such a good job (and because I am still easing back into home life), I am more than happy to pass along her insight rather than create a similar post of my own. I especially love how tastefully she presents the idea to her well-meaning relatives, which we all know is not always easy to do. Enjoy… The NO-TOY Christmas.
And thanks to the amazing Kathie Sever for the passing this along!

Thank you, Beth! I knew there would be a lot of smart parents like yourself who would appreciate our outlook on gifts. Love your blog!
I had a nightmare that I was standing in a huge crowd waiting for a store to open at midnight so I could save 50% on something that will be obsolete very soon, the doors opened and everyone rushed at the same time, pushing and shoving and grabbing consumer goods off of shelves so they could properly celebrate the birth of some ancient holy guy who must have had a lot of stuff. Then i woke up and realized that could never really happen….
