Christmas gift idea

I heard this the other day on the radio and I thought it sounded neat. I'm not sure how well my son will like it but we're doing it anyway.
Since Jesus got three gifts he will get three gifts.
Gold= something of value ie something he really wants
Frankincense = something of spiritual value. My son likes Adventures in Odyssey so he's getting the most recent volume.
Myrrh = something he would wear/put on his body
Then since Christ came and taught us to serve we will go to a nursing home or something and take a craft.
I just thought this was neat and will help with some of the selfishness that seems to come with Christmas.

It sounds like a very nice idea.
I heard it on the radio, too. I told worst rad that she was getting long underwear, a new Bible since she has destroyed hers and 50 pounds of oatmeal because that is what she loves. Actually, she isn't crazy about oatmeal. Maybe because I buy it in 50 pound bags.

Oh that's wonderful!!! I love that idea! We are giving 'essentials' and a wee bit extra this year as the kiddos got new winter coats that took up most of the budget and being in care, they don't have a lot of room for things, but the other things we'll put into 3 bags with a note about that on each one. Thank you!!!

I heard it, too, and thought it was a great idea. I haven't figure out how to "apply" it for this Christmas, but I'm thinking it over.... The problem is DS13 would choose a phone for his GOLD. We really don't want to go that route with him yet, but he's still hoping.

Well I have my son and my exchange student. Doing this will also save me money.
Here are there gifts:
Gold: Gaming Chair & Nurf Gun
Frankincense: Adventures in Odyssey & True U (Scientific evidence for God)
Myrrh: A couple t-shirts/sweat pants & gloves w/scarf
I am buying a family gift that will benefit everyone that I'm seeing a need for.
I'm also treating myself to this which is a nice change because I always focus on my son. But now I can get myself these also.
I will also do the stocking which will have some small gifts/candy in them.
I am buying my son a phone but it's for me. We got separated at Silver Dollar City last weekend and it took hours to find him. I need it for my peace of mind. I bought a $10 trac phone that is a triple minute phone which means if I buy 100 minutes of time he actually gets 300 minutes. It will let me control what's happening and honestly... he never wants to talk on the phone.
