The Gift of Laughter-that is one of the gifts our family is sharing this Christmas


Because we are traveling soon and up to Christmas day we are doing our Christmas different this year as I shared before. One of the ways we have decided to exchange "gifts" this year is to give the gift of laughter. Usually we take all the kids out and they have some money and have a person that was picked by them to buy a gift for... since we do not have time to do it we came up with another way to give to the family... We challenged the kids to give something that would make us all laugh.. like a whoopie cushion bought from the Dollar Store, or a comedy movie, a list of jokes, and some will do a skit.... they are allowed to buddy up with someone and after we come home they will share there gift to us and we will have a nite or 2 of laughter. Laughing together is something we do often and something we can do more of... it lightens our burdens, makes our heart happy, and allows us to experience some joy... now we also will be able to hear the laughter of our 2 new ones... Remember the video of Dancho (Andrew) laughing in Paul's arms... it was such a sweet sound and got us thru the waiting time.....
