I long ago gave up my holiday gift buying stress to making handmade gifts and spending time with family and friends. My family hosts a large (about 50+ people) friends and family day dinner at a rented hall, enjoy the happenings and play games for small or handmade gifts ($10 max). Everyone looks forward to this yearly event. We went from bingo to trivia 2 yrs ago so the youngest members could answer questions and win for their team. I look forward to this event every year.

Sewing Christmas napkins with my 6 year old granddaughter. I cut the fabric and iron the hems but she selects the stitch patterns for the hems and controls the speed peddle with her hand while I ‘drive’. It is a blast for both of us! We do napkins for every holiday.
We are in the process of building a home at the lake and living in our very cold cabin and with no oven I look forward to others cooking for me this year and a year off from decorating. Looking forward to decorating new home next year though
Spending time with my family is the best part!
I have spend the past year making and donating quilts for San Jose flood victims and now Santa Rosa, etc. fire victims–so many local residents have tragically lost their homes in 2017.

Keep them coming,
Gretchen

all types of Santa’s – some handmade and

This is a hard holiday for us, as we suffered an unexpected loss last year at this time. What I’m looking forward to is finding a way to memorialize someone dearly loved and missed every day in a way that will bring the happy memories into our holiday. That’s not easy, especially the first year. But I’m hoping I’ll find a way to add some small bit of comfort to his wife’s celebration, to the hearts of his daughter and son, and to share with his mother and brother–like a second family to me–memories of the little boy we treasured and the man he became.
