I love making things for friends for Christmas.
This year I did personalized note cards for 8 people: the three ladies who work at the post office; my Lunch Bunch friends, Linda and Kay, and my good friends Carla and Nora. I’ll do two other sets over the next few days for the two wonderful waitresses at the Pizza Barn in Greenwood, where we have Lunch Bunch. They gave each of us a Christmas mug! I also enjoyed giving some of my mosaic Christmas ornaments, plus jewelry, etc.
There is almost nothing that gives me the pleasure of watching people I care about open gifts from me at birthdays and Christmas. Next year I’m seriously thinking of giving some “Just Because” gifts, purely for the joy it gives ME. I know – I’m thinking of myself again, but at least I’m honest about it….
I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

What a thoughtful gift! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I hope that 2017 is a wonderful year for you.
Thank you!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year for you and yours Linda 🙂
I have gifted my mother and my son this year. My daughter and I have chosen to gift each other all the year, just because 😀
Thank you, Irene. I love what you and your daughter are doing. I really love the “Just because” idea, and plan to do a lot more of this in 2017.
We have been doing this for some years now and we love to find gifts for each other, sometimes small and other times big, always with kind thoughts behind and it is wonderful to receive gifts – just because of our love to each other.
It’s wonderful, Irene. I think your family is a great model for all of us. I look forward to NOT waiting for birthdays and Christmas in 2017. When I find things I think my family and friends will like, I’ll get and give it, with lots of love and hugs. I can’t wait to start a new tradition!
Enjoy Linda 🙂
