At this time of year, the end of 2007, our family is happily traveling and visiting friends and family. The kids are spending time with their cousins and just enjoying their time together. We exchanged gifts....the adults a pollyanna, which was planned ahead of time. We live further from family now, so the gifts of time, fellowship and friendship are much richer and more important to us.
For those unfamiliar with a pollyanna, we put the names of each adult in a hat and each adult picks a name - not their own =). Then he or she buys a gift for that person. It's a tradition we've been doing for years now. It's simplified the gift giving process and we all enjoy it. We each make up a gift list for ideas if needed and sometimes there is a theme with a set of gifts. We keep it "secret" who our pollyanna is until it's time for the exchange.
This is also the time of year when we reflect back on the year 2007 and recognize the blessings we have received this year. I have really enjoyed writing! Thank you for reading my blog. =)
Be thankful, celebrate & appreciate this time.
May you have had a year full of blessings!
