Encouragement
And if are you are simply trying to keep your head above water, I encourage you to read Celebrating Christmas Our Way. Remember, it isn’t about how many Christmas ideas that you do with your children. It doesn’t matter the time you spent preparing or creating. What matters if that you were intentional with each step of the way.
