| Give a Gift from the Heart |
E-Books |
|
|
| |
Gifts from the Heart: Simple Ways to Make Your Family's Christmas More Meaningful was written by Virginia Brucker after the small school where she teaches lost several parents to cancer (including several moms to breast cancer). The book gives you timesaving tips for busy families, delicious, but simple, recipes for cooks of all ages, delightful kid-tested crafts, dozens of ideas for handmade presents, heartwarming traditions, easy-to-do volunteer projects, tips for single parents or blended families, fun-filled activities for grandparents to share with grandchildren, great ideas for gifts that develop imagination, creativity and literacy practical suggestions for helping our planet and our animal friends during the holidays and meaningful ways to help friends or family struggling with illness or loss at Christmas. Proceeds from the book go to cancer research. Gifts from the Heart differs from many of the Christmas books available. "The content is quite unique. It's about creating a ?feel good,? rather than ?look good,? holiday," says Virginia. For example many children from the school where Virginia teaches contributed their writing and artwork to the project. "That's one of the best things about the book," says Virginia. "Sixty-six children contributed their art work or writing. When I told the children at school that I wanted to raise funds for cancer research, they were so eager to help. I started a noon hour club where children could come and draw and write about Christmas. Most of the kids who came had family members who had been affected by cancer." It has ideas for volunteering as a family, encouraging imagination, simple traditions, and great recipes for gifts from the kitchen and potluck dinners. And it deals with the hard parts of the holidays too, such as the hyped-up expectations, and ?the gimmies,? and the lack of time. The chapters about supporting family and friends who are facing illness or loss and divorce and blended families are very special. And the children's contributions are priceless. It is also about building character and community, about thinking carefully and making choices. It is filled with loving suggestions for making memories through simple traditions, and contains dozens of activities that encourage readers to reach out to others, not only at Christmas, but throughout the year.
