the gift of giving

I love this time of the year. The weather is warming up and everything, and everyone, starts feeling festive. Have you noticed that the Pohutukawa are blooming?

Some people may harp on about how commercial Christmas has become, and they are right, but seeing the joy on the face of a little one as they tear open their christmas present is so fun to watch. In the spirit of gift giving, is this not the cutest little banner? A perfect Christmas pressie for kids and adults! Birdinabunnysuit gets it just right.

Yesterday I read about the receiving / giving tradition that OhJoy! and her family follow. I love this idea and think this may be a tradition that our little family adopts too.
