I am married to my beautiful wife Erin. We have four wonderful children, two girls and two boys. I repair one-hour photo machines for CVS's around central Indiana. I love spending time with my family, playing hand drums, and photography.
You express many thoughts similar to mine. Having separated Christmas as a day of worship from Gift Giving (which was a family party at a different time), and making sure that our "gift to Jesus" was the most expensive one (usually to missions), there's been a history of trying to get away from the hustle and bustle. I would be in favor of having our family Gift Giving party in the summer time: the children could be in or outside playing, it could be at a home or a park, and, selfishly, I wouldn't have to miss seeing several family members because of scheduling flights, etc. as happened this year.
