New Traditions

Welcome Friends and family to the blog. The Holiday's are coming and the stress is officially on. The economy has been in a recession for a year now. So on top of hearing that its going to get worse before it gets better, we are trying to make the Christmas cut backs.I admit this makes me feel bad but you have to do what you have to do. I feel the pinch at home and I feel it at work. One thing is for sure I'm grateful for the fact the Eleazar and I are still working.

There is a new Christmas tradition going on in our Familia. Eleazar Jr and Analicia picked angels off of the Angel Christmas tree. They chose an 8 year old boy and 10 month old boy. The card said that they needed clothes. So the money that Eleazar and I would have spent on the kids buying them gifts we bought for the kids that they picked. Now some of you maybe thinking that is rude of me but look at it this way. What kind of parents would we be if we didn't teach out kids the real meaning of Christmas. Beside they are still getting their gifts form Santa Clause. Also my kids have so many grandparents they will be taken care of. My kids are very fortunate to have a big family. It's kind of sad there is no Christmas presents under the tree this year but I'm sure that there will be plenty on Christmas morning from Santa....
