A Special Challenge for Us parents this Christmas...




When I was little girl probably 7 years old, we used to spend almost every Christmas at my grandparents house, it was  a every humble house in the country side of Puerto Rico the house was made of wood with aluminum roof, in that house I had the best childhood ever. One special Christmas I remember getting a rag doll (muñeca de trapo) I was so happy 
I couldn't believe!My world was complete !
I adore that doll for many years.

Today a see how a rag doll probably will make a girl cry because the doll doesn't eat, or walk or talk. But I remember that the true magic  to me was that I got something for Christmas and that my mom will always remind me that many kids in other countries don't get nothing for Christmas.  

With that childhood memory in my mind I wake 
up this morning thinking ? 
  
I wonder how we can I teach our kids values in this era ?

I know it will be challenging, now doubt about it, but 
It's not impossible. 

So I challenge every parent to give your kids one of their gifts something not expensive like a wood car or a rag doll and tell them how precious and special that toy is and how many kids in other countries will not receive nothing for Christmas I believe this will send them a 
great message of how fortune they are this Christmas.

Remember Christmas it not about Quantity is about Quality
Merry Christmas to All
