Knock Knock, Merry Christmas!

After learning that my husband was being laid off, we knew that Christmas this year would be very lean. While we know that it is better to give than to receive, I was sad that I would miss seeing the smiles of joy on family members' faces when opening their presents.

Then, I received a call from my sister-in-law, who said she ended up with 200 stuffed animals and did not know what to do with them. They had been in her company storage for years. My husband and I decided that on Christmas morning we would knock on all of our neighbors doors' and hand the stuffed animals out. Fortunately, we have enough wrapping paper from last year and we won't be needing it this year.

Now we feel like Christmas is still here this year and we are looking forward to doing this! We may not have many presents for each other, but we will still get to see plenty of smiles this Christmas.
