You said: “…memories outlive any gift under a tree.”

That is so very true. Time is the best gift of all.

Thank you for this excellent reminder.

Really??? I can’t even imagine what Grandchildren (and their parents) would think if Grandma and Grandpa didn’t give presents. You are correct… when you are older (optimum word being “older”) it is the traditions and memories of certain Christmas’ and not the gifts that are remembered. But when you are little (and older) it is the thrill of opening a present. I loved the anticipation and actually still do. Merry Christmas to all!!!

We make cinnamon buns on Christmas Day. It’s the only time all year we do so, and it’s a huge treat!
