Another week of spotty writing huh? Yes that is what you have here at Catharsis of the Bogue. This holiday time of year is full of so many different stresses I have had 3 migraines already this month! I have a couple of posts about that in the works as well.
Today I have been running all over finding presents for the kids. So we are not just buying meaningless crap but we have a tradition now, where we have to make presents for each other in the family. All of the kids make stuff for each other as well as Mom and Dad. Of course they still get toys but this is so much more meaningful for them.
They love to figure out what they can make for each other and how to keep it secret. It is getting harder now that we have done this for a couple of years now. They have to think harder. They have to actually think about what the other kids would like.
I would tell anyone to do this for their kids. It is such a great way to get back to the true meaning of Christmas and away from the cliche’s and commercial BS.
