gift for baby jesus craft image
lisa r
It amazes me how people will go into debt buying gifts. What's the purpose ? Your credit gets ruined if you fail to pay on time or end up getting laid off or whatever. The day after christmas everthing you spent boo koo bucks on just went 50% to 80% offf ! I find all this gift buying for the retailer not the consumer. Its obsurd. The best gifts of all are the ones from the heart. Look at what it has done all over the world...the children that feel left out because they dont have a gift under a tree if they have a tree at all on christmas morning. This Holiday as we created it in tradition has created heavy hearts. Is that what Christmas is supposed to be ???????
Answer
I am on a pension, I cannot afford to buy much and I have a really large family. Throughout the year, I buy small gifts when they are on special, Also I make items of all different shapes and sizes using my sewing machine and crafts. Each fortnight out of my pension cheque, I put $10 into my Christmas Bonus Club Account, which gives me $260 just before Christmas as well.
I also bake heavily in the week prior, and make up celophane bags of home made sweets, and biscuits.
A neighbour who has little, I give a small hamper each year as well. Every cheque, I buy an item to put in it.
I also put a nice purchased gift for a needy child under the tree at my church.
Every person gets a gift, and it is given with love. I might add, I do not go without, and I do not owe any money to anyone.
It isn't necessary to drown in debt every year like so many do. Commercialism, greed and 'keeping up with the Jones', spoil what should be a wonderful celebration about the birth of baby Jesus.
It is getting harder to bring our children up to have decent values while this goes on around them.
I agree with you, and I hope you have a very merry Christmas.

Speaking of Recalls, Did you know that Old Navy recalled several Baby items?
Q. They recalled most of the their stuffed animal toys that have rattles in them, due to the button eyes.
I bought the bunny online for Christmas for my baby since it matched a hat and onsie she had, and as soon as I got it I thought the buttons could cause a choking hazard, so I never really let her play with it (she was never fond of it anyway since it was too big for her tiny hands) Mainly it just sat in her car carrier next to her and she never even paid any attention to it and now today I just got an email about the recall that includes pictures and model numbers.

Just thought you guys may appreciate knowing this especially, if you shop at Old Navy.
Okay, let's try this again since the link did not work the first time:

Answer
Also just a reminder that magnets that can become dislodged and swallowed are very dangerous. I've been seeing a lot of toys with magnets just glued in (like letters for the fridge) at discount stores lately. Those aren't allowed anymore and certainly shouldn't be used around kids under 3.
