My children also were able to watch me create the gifts and they too felt connected to it all. In fact, when given the chance to buy anything she wanted at her schools fairy market (parents donate handmade gifts and children are able to buy what they want for each family member) my daughter bought my son one of the handmade gifts I had made, mostly because she knows how much I enjoyed making it. I love this article Bunmi and I think I may adopt your idea of letting them choose a toy to gift a friend in the community:) This year I made most of the gifts I gave and I felt more connected to my joy than in any holiday in the past.
