Yesterday we celebrated Yule (Winter Solstice) here. It was a great day for the kids, they each got to open a gift from us and a gift from their secret shopper. Holidays are expensive, especially for a family the size of mine. The kids all wanted to buy for each other which of course would mean my wallet getting lighter, so instead of them buying for each sibling they did a secret shopper drawing and each bought for one person. The things they chose were so cute and it really was inexpensive they each spent $5.00 or less. Yule really is not really about gifts, so the things we gave the kids were little or handmade. This year for Bookworm I made a purse out of a pair of jeans she has outgrown. After dinner we all decorated a gingerbread house together, it really was a great day.
