DEL.ICIO.USA gift of memories will last forever
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What if your kids came to you and said they’d rather go on a holiday or Christmas ( you fill in the appropriate word) vacation than have presents?
Well, that’s what happened to me. And you know what? I’m thrilled.
I won’t have to brave the stores, the crowds or the decisions of what to buy. I’ll admit that it sort of makes me feel out of the loop, but that feeling doesn’t last for long.
In fact, the gift I’m giving my children is the gift of memories and since they will be on their own before too long, I”m just glad they still want to spend time with us.
Granted, my girls are now 15 and 19. So, while there are plenty of things they’d like to have, I’m hoping they are getting away from the need to have more stuff.
What would you think if your kids asked for a little getaway instead of presents?
