Though the goal is to give joyfully,  there tends to be a lot of stress placed (usually self-inflicted) on the giver. One tremendous resource for choosing meaningful gifts for loved ones and friends is a simple wish list.

Since Sunday is a day of family, each Sunday post will contain a seasonal task or activity that involves getting the most enjoyment from the season with the ones you love most.

Today’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to create a Wish List  for each member of your immediate family and give them a chance to jot down their wishes (or you can work on it together). When the lists are completed,  add the pages to your holiday planner for quick reference. You will now have a place to go when new ideas for gifts are mentioned. Have your family make a comprehensive dream list that you can later whittle down to a more manageable size.

Visit the 100 Days to Christmas Facebook page and let us know what is on your Christmas wish list!
