This morning my husband organized all the toys, games, books, pictures,
mugs, you name it, that he accumulated from the put-and-take and saved for
Christmas presents. He’s organized them in piles according to child and
grandchild. Sounds strange to say child when really I’m taking out our two grown
children who, duh, are the parents of our grandchildren.
Later today he will wrap them in Christmas paper from the dump, box
them, and they will be ready for distribution.
We
haven’t bought one Christmas present
this year. I don’t mean to brag. It just feels right for us at this time in our
life, and it fits into my meager
sustainability project. Plus, these are great presents; just what we would buy
if our gift-buying budget were big enough and if we happened to like going to
the mall.
