I think we have lost that a bit and I see a trend where prople are doing more of this now. It is a good thing. Oh that is so great that your oldest son is coming home too! It will be special.<BR/><BR/>@ Le - this is a great ida for kids as well. The kids love them better than some of the bigger Santa presents too!

I have four children and when they were small and growing I made most of all of their presents from pajamas and robes and sweaters to stuffed animals and toys and it was such fun. We're all so scattered these days that we don't generally get to see each other over the holidays, but this year my oldest son is coming here to spend Christmas with me and his brother and I'm really excited about that. Love all your ideas!Sylvia Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05484577678585907669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-33398169070690014372008-11-09T04:18:00.000+11:002008-11-09T04:18:00.000+11:00Wow!
