Celebrate Christmas by secretly giving gifts to others

Ruth Ann writes:
There is a way to celebrate Christmas without all the carrying on that most people do during the season. Celebrate Jesus birthday alone on Christmas day. Actually celebrate Jesus birthday by baking Him a cake, gathering as a family and secretly giving to the needs of others, remembering all that Christ has done for us.

I have been doing this for the last few years and is it wonderfully peaceful. We give gifts when each member of the family has a birthday to celebrate their life. Try it, you will be blessed. -Ruth Ann
