SOMETIMES THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE A CHILD IS FREE

For Familes on tight budgets this holiday season, you can turn the time into something meaningful and fun. Many people are going back to the basics. Commiting some time to you children can be specacial and fun, and doesn't have to cost anything but a little time. Especially with younger children, a simple 'Chistmas Voucher' inside a card can mean a lot. Whether placed inside a card or given to seperately, you can make a voucher or ceriticate telling you child that you are going to spend X amount of time with them working on a special project. The project can be anything your child loves. A treehouse made out of scrapped wood, A model airplane, A dress up and make over session(s), or of course, photography excursions (even if it's just the back yard). Somewhere in our culture, we've forgotten the fundamentals of holidays, which is just to love, cherish, and be thankful for the blessings that already surround us. Going back to the basics may give your family memories for a lifetime.
