Awww that's a wonderful idea  Your family are thrilled. We are doing a Kris-Kringle with my boyfriends siblings so that makes life a lot easier. It means that people get meaningful gifts instead of lots of little useless things Ghost-Chick  |

I'm getting my mom a silver tree that has little picture frames hanging off of it. I'm going to put my daughter's picture in it and the other frames are for my two nephews. I'm also making a photo album for my best friend. The rest of the gifts aren't sentimental. They're mostly educational toys for the baby and a game for my husband.  |

i really like your idea but i will be doing the meaningless gift giving again this year. i have made some changes though. since i an short one grandmother this year, my last living one will get double! that means whatever she wants she gets. i know i will be able to afford it because she is a cheap old broad and meaner than a snake!!! i seriously think she wants a new tater bin. one that sets up a little higher than the one she has. and as far as everybody else goes (aunts, uncles and cousins that you "have" to buy for) they are getting very little this year. i don't mean to sound like scrooge but it gets a little nuts around here at Christmas. too many people going overboard on useless stuff.  |

Aww, that's a sweet idea Paula..I'm sure that your girls will love it!! Sentimental things are always the best, because you know that it comes straight from the heart.  |

Paula, this is such a wonderful and thoughtful post. I had some pictures of my Great Grandparents with my Mother when she was about 12 and gave copies to my girls. They were so happy. I had them framed and gave them as special gifts, as I feel time slips by and I'm trying to leave them as much family as I can. I've compiled volummes of family history and spent years reserching my family, finally having some of history published and bound into books that I give. I wanted my grandchildren and theirs to have something special.  |

this is a really nice post, i am sure that they will treasure the gifts a lot more...this year i am thinking about putting a scrap book together for my friend who i wont see again.;..since i am in another country...and giving it to him for xmas...he is such a good friend. i will probably but some pictures in it, and write some stuff in it...to make it really personal...during the year i try to make other people feel special by giving them little thank you cards, or sending flowers to their house, just to tell them that they are appri iated...i like doing things like that! *hugz*  |

That's a really good idea, Paula. I'm not sure what we'll do for the little ones, but the big ones are getting crafty presents. Gary's employee's are getting Gifts From a Jar, as are the secretaries and CSR's in the front office. Happy Holidays to you, too!!  |

that's a great idea! Some of my most treasured possessions are things that have been passed around the family.... my most favorite are the oil portraits of my great grandparents that I somehow managed to acquire  This year I'm concentrating on giving everyone the gift of getting to know themselves better... I'm creating a series of personalized handmade journals for everyone on my list. (Yeah, I'm broke, too!)  |
