have you heard of this christmas gift giving tradition? a friend introduced me to it a few years ago. It is such a simple, beautiful idea for the holidays.
something you want something you need something to wear something to read
i found these beautiful tags to go along with each gift and they can be reused year after year.
For some reason, I have in my mind that I read that little diddy in "Unplug the Christmas Machine" by Jo Robinson and Jean Coppock Staeheli. It's been a while since I originally read the book and we've been using that poem for years. Every year, the kids now automatically make their "want, need, play, read" lists (the one I originally read said play instead of wear). I never thought about making permanent tags, but I love that idea. I cross-stitch a lot, so I might go that direction. Thanks for the idea. ;)
