Many years ago I convinced our family that we should do away with extravagant gift giving and go back to writing a letter to Santa asking for humble gifts. I collate all the letters, emails now, and each person is sent one letter to buy one gift for one family member and must post it to wherever that person will be for Christmas Day. Young children are exempt, of course. We love the fact that we receive a gift we actually want and the cost is kept low ($50). Many of us now ask that our gift be an Oxfam pig or goat. I wrote a post about our tradition around this time last year.Libby's Lifestylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884122961562821210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-45663702208686349132016-11-14T02:20:43.370-08:002016-11-14T02:20:43.370-08:00I love this idea of filling up a bag for others, I...I love this idea of filling up a bag for others, I will have to look into it!Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13133434121526517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-10200383981118138422016-11-14T01:43:22.556-08:002016-11-14T01:43:22.556-08:00That's a fantastic bag you've put together...That's a fantastic bag you've put together there!

I spent a morning at my local shops yesterday buying for 2 bags I will have filled ready for #itsinthebag . I found people who understood what I was talking about in a couple of the shops were so helpful. I am linking an 'old' post from my link up a few weeks back when I got very nostalgic about Christmas past. I am planning to post new ones for this linky soon! Thanks for a great place to share.
