Or better yet; What would be the best way to prepare your gift conscience children to not receive during this normally receiving time of the year. Do you think they would feel left out or hurt because of a lack of presents? And does it matter what your chuldren think or feel about not getting a bunch of gifts? I wonder how one goes about retraing our children to rethink Christmas, like this video suggests. I think it is a great idea/ I'm struggling with these issues. My family has already had some conversation about making gifts this year. However, the thought is good and goes over well with our children, but their Christmas lists are still showing signs of desired commercialization. Anybody got a thought about these issues?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8929683/5431650897737304700/comments/default/1950432172746836576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8929683/5431650897737304700/comments/default/1950432172746836576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.faithprogression.com/2008/12/advent-conspiracy.html?showComment=1228370820000#c1950432172746836576' title=''/><author><name>michael Dye</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.faithprogression.com/2008/12/advent-conspiracy.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929683.post-5431650897737304700' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8929683/posts/default/5431650897737304700' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-658397749'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929683.post-4809935527586636565</id><published>2008-12-01T10:12:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-01T10:12:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>That was inspiring, to put it mildly.</title><content type='html'>That was inspiring, to put it mildly.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8929683/5431650897737304700/comments/default/4809935527586636565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8929683/5431650897737304700/comments/default/4809935527586636565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.faithprogression.com/2008/12/advent-conspiracy.html?showComment=1228144320000#c4809935527586636565' title=''/><author><name>Jen!</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15277145038383417442</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_8-eSqRyEYR0/R1sNxxLfpCI/AAAAAAAAAAk/jXb7VN2XXfM/S220/Me!.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.faithprogression.com/2008/12/advent-conspiracy.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929683.post-5431650897737304700' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8929683/posts/default/5431650897737304700' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1122567413'/></entry></feed>
