Embarking on our first year of the four-gift rule for Christmas fills me with anticipation and joy. Initially uncertain about how our children would respond to this change, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised by their enthusiasm when we introduced the idea. The very discussion seemed to rekindle the true spirit of Christmas, emphasizing the significance of thoughtful giving.
The positive conversation with our kids not only made this unique approach to gifting feel like a delightful experiment but also affirmed our decision to adopt it this Christmas and, potentially, in the years to come. It was heartening to witness their genuine excitement, underscoring that the essence of Christmas is not lost but rather magnified by this intentional and meaningful approach to gift-giving.
