The holiday season is a time of giving.  And giving.  And giving.  And when your credit card is worn out, moths fly out of your wallet and you’ve exhausted your change jar, if you find there are still more people to give to, you may feel that all hope is lost.  Never fear.  You have children, isn’t that a gift?

No, I’m not saying to give away your children.  Not that the last three weeks hasn’t nearly driven you to that.  Talk about a frustrating time of year – you’re spending the most on them and they seem to act the most ungrateful.

I’m saying use them.  To make gifts.  You know all those pieces of artwork sent home that you’ve oohed and ahhed over with no idea what to do with them?  Give them away.  Give them the final home they deserve, someone else’s!  The kids are happy that their revered pieces of garbage are so treasured as to be given as a gift!  And you are just happy to have that little bit less of clutter.
