Hand made Christmas gifts
Everyone in our family (except the children) have all the material things we want, so we make gifts for each other. This year I made 12 jars each of blueberry jam, strawberry jam, Carolina BBQ sauce, applebutter, ketchup, and corn relish. I couldn't get a picture before visitors began snatching up the loot, but here is some of the project.
Does anyone here "make" Christmas?

My sister-in-law mentioned yesterday that several neighbors and friends brought her home made candies and chocolate cover goodies. She accepts them with a nice warm thank you and then she throws them right in the trash. She does not want or need the calories of all that sugar.

Amen! We started about 5 years ago, and we call it "Make it, Bake it or I won't take it". It's completely changed how we experience Christmas. Instead of stressing at a packed mall about getting throwaway gifts for people who already have more than enough, we spend our time leading up to Christmas at home, cooking, baking and doing crafts.
We've loosened up the rules in the past couple years and now allow the purchase of books, and we can also give items we own but think someone else might enjoy.
