For our extended family Christmas this year, we have agreed not to buy gifts.Β We will each bring a handmade gift from materials found at home orΒ pass on an item we love, no white elephant items!Β When we get together, each item will be numbered.Β We will pull a number and take the gift bearing that number.Β No purchases allowed.Β My husband and I have both spent considerable time making gifts.Β I am looking forward to the exchange.Β There will be no wasted money and thought goes into our choices.
