What a delightful treatise on Christmas as we know it could be, and remember when it was. Such a good point that all we have to do is MAKE it that way again. Nicely structured, and winds up well at the end. This will help a lot of folks think! Keep up the good work.

Yes This is the one I was thinking about. Makes me want to cry. It was tough times for us and a lot of people back then. Thanks for the precious memories. Mom

My favorite gifts have always been ones made by someone. With that in mind, I've given many cross-stitched and framed items myself. Of course, that requires thinking ahead and starting projects 6 months before Christmas!
I truly enjoyed this...

Here's an idea of Our Echo contributors: Print out your postings from Our Echo, add colored paper for the covers, staple together and give the booklet to your loved ones. Alternate idea, put them in a 3-ring binder.
Sure they enjoy your stories online, but they will also love having a copy in hand to show people and to keep on the coffee table.
