The Best Idea

Last week my in-laws from California, Mike and Emily, shared this idea with us.

They asked their children how many presents the wisemen brought to Jesus.

They answered, "Three."

Then they replied, "Do you think that you should receive more presents than Jesus?"

"Of Course not!"

Genius, don't you think? I hope you don't mind me sharing that, Mike and Em, but really, everyone that I've told that to has decided to change their ways this Christmas. You two are brilliant!

Oh, I really like that. My kids need a reality check about Christmas. But wait...how many can I have?

Great Idea! Though I am waiting for someone to say "yeah mom, but how much did the wisemen spend on that gold they brought??" ha ha. Jeff and I will have to adopt the 3 gift idea, it's a keeper!

Also, I LOVE your background and Christmas Blog decorations, so cute!

This is a great idea! I think Ian believes Santa will show up with every thing he circles in the toy catalog. I've also heard one way to look at buying gifts for your kids is--something to wear, something they need, something to play with, and something to read.
