Simple Gifts

'Tis a gift to be simple,
'Tis a gift to be free,
'Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.


Our family is really trying to simplify our stuff this year and part of that is not adding more.  Initially that made us think that we should not add anything.  Just experiences...  Aunt C pointed out a simple idea that she had seen on Pinterest.

  • something they WANT
  • something they NEED
  • something to WEAR
  • something to READ
And possibly:
  • something to WATCH
  • something for DRESS UP
  • something to LISTEN TO
  • something to EAT
  • something to CREATE 

So, since half the family still wasn't sure about the no gift idea, we decided to try it.  We assigned (they chose) a single category for each relative and they will find a single gift for each of our three kids in that category.
