What kids really want for Christmas

by SP on December 6th, 2006

They might say that they want the latest toys and in my case the most expensive cars, but if you brought up the topic around the dinner table at night and asked them what was really important, you might be surprised at what they come up with. Think back to your own Christmases as you were growing up. Is it the toys that you remember or is it something else??

Personally, I remember…

*skating in our backyard,
*cups of cocoa
*all the Christmas specials on TV
*shopping on festive streets
*listening to Christmas music
*our yearly visit to the relatives who lived far away
*and the huge Christmas dinner mom would always make

See, I don’t even remember what I got for Christmas. It was all of the above that made the hugest impact! What made Christmas special for you??

*It’s a Wonderful Life for Kids, Too
