I don’t ever recall my parents buying themselves anything for XMAS but we witnessed the love they had for one another and how they always put family first. In fact, my husband and I have never bought XMAS gifts for one another but I continued my parents’ tradition by buying one gift for each of my nieces and nephews when they were growing up since we never had children.

I remember when my nephew was about one and my husband and I were in the stores looking for him a XMAS gift. We finally settled on a ball that costed all of $2. My nephew loved that ball the way Linus loved his blanket. Through the years, I’ve never spent much money on gifts for my nieces and nephews but they sure did seem to love every gift I bought them. There are alot of life lessons that we could teach children without spending an arm and a leg that would help to shape them into productive members of society.
