You're so right that we can lose our wonder and have Christmas become ho-hum. I loved your tips and I'm really glad you mentioned IF EQUIP. That will now be my go-to devotional for Advent. Wishing you blessings, sparkles, and a whole lot of wonder! :-)Marva @ sunSPARKLEshinehttp://www.sunsparkleshine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955556559266514067.post-73751301675325266592015-12-02T11:42:00.593-06:002015-12-02T11:42:00.593-06:00I even like to be surprised for my children's ...I even like to be surprised for my children's Christmas gifts...even though I'm really practical.

The past few years I've had a hard time getting into the holiday. We always keep it simple anyway and I do find this helps some.

I often find myself thinking Christmas doesn't have the same spark as it did when I was a kid. I love the practical steps you provided us and the reminder that saying yes is just as important as saying no in this season.
