I’ve found that the best gifts of all are not monetary. Offer to help a shut-in. Make cookies* for the neighbors. Go visit elders in the nursing home. Smile at a stranger. Pray for Peace.
*Fast and ooh, so good… Oreo Balls Recipe
Crush a package of Oreos (I used Great Value brand, just as good) Mix with a block of cream cheese (electric mixer works best). Chill enough to form balls. Chill balls again after forming (or freeze). Dip in melted vanilla almond bark. Done!
Fun (and Free) Online Christmas Stuff
Free Santa Letter Print out this personalized letter from Santa. Imagine the excitement when they read just how much Santa knows about them.
Send a personalized video from Santa (really cool):
