Christmas Creativity...

12/18/2011

As the holiday season embraces us, I am beginning to realize some of my gifts just may be a little late.  I try to prep and think ahead - but before I know it the day is here.

Last year, I tried to venture out - to do my holiday shopping - and my attitude went south fast.  I didn't even make it through the first store and I decided Christmas shopping wasn't for me.  Upon leaving the store, I realized there was one last stop I could handle - Kwik Trip.  For those of you hate the crowds and busy stores, I recommend finding a small store that offers a selection of different items.  I was able to get gift cards, lottery tickets, candy and some other small treasures without a single hassle.  Thank you Kwik Trip for helping me out.

This year I have been struggling again.  Life gets busy, and truthfully many people do not need anything.  So I am putting my creativity to work and here is a list of some possible holiday gift ideas...

1.  Make a CD - Now that I know how to download music, I love sharing my favorite selections with others.  This is a gift that can keep on playing :).

2.  Re-gift something from your house.  Now when you doing this, make sure you are not re-gifting something the person gave you :)  Seriously - my family had this as a theme a few years back and it was a blast.  We all shopped within our own homes.  I ended up with a bowling ball and some other fine treasures.

3.  A Gift Card to a unique location.  Help others think outside the box and expand their horizon.  I am hoping Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Volunteer Services will be up to making gift cards for me.  (Shhhh - please don't tell my family what they will be getting.)

4.  Homemade items are always a hit in my book.  Since we were young, my mom has always made us a gift every year.  It is always my favorite and means a ton.  It can be simple - or complex... jam, a quilt, a card...

5.  Service coupons are always a way to go too.  Offer to help with a household project, babysit, give a massage...  The possibilities are endless.

(6.  Team Vogel Merchandise is always a sure thing too :) )

If you make it out to a store - or put your creativity to the test, most importantly, give your time.  Take a moment to tell others how much you love them, sit down and play a game with your younger cousins, say hi to your neighbor...take a moment for yourself too.

Hoping everyone has a wonderful holiday full of laughter and love.

Love - Rach

"BELIEVE" says it all...
BELIEVE IN GOD
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
BELIEVE IN OTHERS
BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Just as our BELOVED JOE did...

LOVE & BIG ENDLESS HUGS to you Rachel

The season came upon us quickly this year, maybe because we have no snow to make it feel like Christmas! I think of you often and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Since you can now download music to CDs, I'll have to hire you, then I can have an assortment of Country and Soft Rock to listen to.

Think of you often and hope all is well. See you for Christmas!!!
