When I was 16 my mom was ill at Christmas, so on Christmas Eve I took on the task of playing Santa – getting the presents under the tree and filling the Christmas stockings.

This was before 24 hour Walmarts and my brother ended up with a lot of candy from the gas station because that was all I could find. So my advice, plan ahead.

I am on the hunt for Christmas presents for my large extended family this year that are eco-friendly, useful, and budget friendly as well!
