Linking up an older post to Tuesdays Gone!
Well, if you saw my last post about Christmas frustration you know that I've just had enough of the crazy obligation to spend, spend, spend at this time of year. In that post I promised a special announcement coming soon. Here it is!
I have started a new Facebook page that I hope you will enjoy. It is called "A Healthy, Home-Made Holiday." My goal is to share tips, recipes, crafts, music, or anything else we can find that will add to our holidays without subtracting from our wallets. The healthier the better on the recipes, but of course we all know that this time of the year is not for dieting. Don't be overly strict in that area. I would love for this page to be for EVERYONE to share on! Please don't hesitate to add your own thoughts.
I don't want this page to be limited to Christmas only. There are other winter holidays, and I want to respect the traditions of everyone. I'd love to learn more about Kwanzaa from someone who celebrates it! I'm going to keep the page going throughout the year, too. It seems like every month there is a new holiday that we could find a more healthy and frugal way to celebrate.
Please share this page with your friends. The more the merrier! I'm hoping to really change the way we look at the holidays. I want to bring us back to the old-fashioned days of hand-made gifts, family stories, and precious memories being in the forefront of our minds. Not how many gifts can be counted and how much we saved because we were spending too much to begin with.
Enjoy!

I'm going there now. Thanks for sharing with us! I was just talking to a friend about how there is too much pressure to spend and buy on Christmas and less celebrating of JESUS birthday!

Just stopping by to thank you for your comment on my blog. I agree that we should stop and remember what this time of the year is really for and spend time relishing in the peace of Jesus' birthday. If you are forming a band, I am all in! Have a blessed week.

Thanks for stopping by and for checking out my new Facebook page Rebecca. I hope you find something useful on there. PLEASE feel free to post away if you have tips and suggestions!
Janine, thank you, too for stopping by. I don't think I've got enough energy to pull off what I suggested on your blog right now, but maybe some day. Until now I hope my new Facebook page makes the point. Have a great week!
