A Homemade Christmas

It is my belief that Christmastime is truly the most beautiful time of the year: not only visually, but emotionally as well.  At Christmas, homes and businesses are decked out in holiday ornamentation and there is an overwhelming sense of love and peace.  At such a wonderful time, I find it awfully tedious and silly to worry about getting the best deals on the latest and greatest gifts. It's not necessary to stress out and break the bank in the showing love to loved ones. I've made it my Christmas  mission to create meaningful gifts for my friends and family that they will love just as much as, if not more than, a store-bought gift.  I will be documenting this journey of Christmas-creation here and hope that inspires you to ignore the commercialization and do something truly meaningful with the most wonderful time of the year.
