Christmas tree baubles By Newbie

My best presents include a coffee mug that reminds me of the child each time I use it, and the gifts that the children have made or baked themselves. I treasure the notes and cards and each year when the Christmas decorations box comes out, I read through all the messages from previous years. The effort the kids put into thinking what to write and handwriting it, and sometimes making the card too, that means a lot to me.

This year we decided the $2 I might have spent on a gift should go to charity. I designed a christmas card on the computer and mailed it to each child with a photo from camp. The kids love to get letters addressed to them at home, and the parents appreciate the photos.
