The Whelchel Families Christmas Rotation

Dear all who read on the blog,



I will be sending everyone an e-mail with the specific Christmas information on it. In an effort to simplify our family gift giving and recommit to the idea of thinking more of giving and not receiving, I'd like to try a new simplified gift-giving style. Introducing.......a family rotation - Meaning, we will not be doing a separate cousin and sibling rotation this year. Each sibling family will give to another sibling family including all of that sibling's family. This does not mean purchasing gifts for each family member, but giving a gift that can be enjoyed/shared/used by all members of the family. Each year we will take turns coming up with a theme as a fun way to prompt gift ideas, however, you are not restricted by the theme if you don't wish to be. Mom and Dad like the theme idea and if you want to give them a themed gift, they are excited to be included. I think we will try this for two years and see how it goes. I will be sending out the rotation letter tonight. I love you all. Please post questions here and I will check it over the weekend to answer them.
