4 wonderful people with amazing comments:
I think your Christmas gift list is spot on for kids. I like the lego as it's a unisex toy and helps with the mental development and creativity of your children.
What has bothered me about my son who is 7 is that he is always playing with my cell phone and he wanted a cell phone for Christmas. I bought him the lego blocks and a cheap little Tracfone and I'm just wandering if he will start learning to be responsible with the phone at such an early age. I can only wait and see.
May you and your readers have a blessed and Happy Christams
Wish you all a Merry and Happy Christmas. Let this new year bring you all great joy and harmony in your life for your future. Wonderful & Christmas greetings and gifts of the season…
Thank you, both, for your great and meaningful comments! I think we all continue to pray for peace on earth and/or in our hearts!
Blessings to all,
Heidi
