I hope everyone was able to stay warm yesterday it was a little bit chilly.
But right now I want to do some real talk.
It is Christmas time so I want everyone to realize that you don’t need to buy expensive things to prove to someone that you love them.
When it comes to the kids buying them expensive things is all well and cool if you can afford them.
And it is true that it will warm your heart when you see them open up a gift that they have always wanted.
But will that gift warm their bodies when you cannot afford to pay the electric bill because you felt the need to buy them something that they really did not need.
Think about it do you remember what Christmas gift you got when you were their age.
HELLO
I will wait for your answer.
Now when it comes to adults if it’s someone that is truly in your life someone that truly knows you, they would not want you to buy them all the fancy expensive things to prove that you love them.
They would know that you cannot afford it.
If they respect you truly respect you…
They would not want you to live beyond your means just to get them something expensive.
Last time I checked the Three Wiseman came with Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.
They came with gifts that he could use.
Things that could help him as he grows.
Things that they could afford to give him.
They were giving from their hearts and not from their pockets.
To make a long story short
People need to stop being materialistic when it comes to their kids.
People need to buy games that they can play with their kids.
People need to stop using electronics as a form of baby sitting.
Most of all people need to wake up and realize that kids actually like one on one time with their parents.
In the end you are the parent not Nintendo not Sega and not Apple YOU are.
There will be a time that you kids will be grown and they will not have time for you…
Then what are you going to say???
Well they did like the PlayStation I got them that year for Christmas…..
No your going to be sad because you will know that you should of taken time out with your kids instead of taken time to buy your kids.
Once that time is gone its gone and there will be nothing you can do about it.
SPEND TIME WITH YOUR KIDS THIS CHRISTMAS BEFORE IT’S TO LATE….

I won’t lie, I tell Savannah all the time this: We could buy you all the fun expensive toys but in order to do that both me and Daddy have to work and you would need daycare. Which would you prefer? I let her decide.
Kids are not stupid! Let them help make a decision of you being gone all the time. Savannah doesn’t get but a $20 birthday gift. Just like my boys. They don’t need a 1,000 toys at once. They just have to give them away.
Until this year, I swapped my used toys with my cousin. Last year I got a Barbie house I couldn’t afford. A new one was far to expensive but I traded for it. Put some new flooring and wall paper to make it special and Bam. It was Christmas excited in both mine and her homes. We did that since my kids were little and I buy toys that will last for generations. Never bought Savannah Legos, she had the ones I bought my sons. One baby bed for this Mom. Not one for each new baby. Seriously, people just waste too much and over spend and work to spend money for things they can’t take the time to even enjoy.
