As Christmas day draws nearer and nearer, very little time remains for shopping, especially for the little gifts that may have been forgotten. The last minute push always has people rushing around almost in a daze…in a craze anyway! So, ever thought of doing something different? Staying away from the malls, putting your imagination to work? What about inviting family and friends over and being creative! Make some small gifts together or simply let the time of enjoyment be the gift itself…give the gift of smiles and laughter.

The Time When Giving Rules
Christmas—a time for giving
Loving, laughing & living
Forgetting & forgiving
Remembering, reliving
Christmas brings time for laughter
Today, tomorrow, thereafter
Gifts of love, you’re the crafter
Those ne’er bought before or after
Something to use, something to share
The idea is showing you care
Make it something unique with flair
Or totally risque if you dare
Should you decide food’s the thing
Add to it just the right zing
Small goodies smiles surely bring
When the mason jar is king
Small goodies smiles surely bring
When the mason jar is king
If the gift is a gift of money
Be sure to make it funny
Any dollar bill, sweet as honey
Leaves the day bright and sunny
Any dollar bill, sweet as honey
Leaves the day bright and sunny
Less demanding are simple tools
Maybe rhinestone studded jewels
Some little wooden sewing spools
All in the time when giving rules
