Christmas is 11 days away! Are you ready?

Published: Thu, 12/14/17


Today I was reminded that Christmas isn't always fun for everyone all the time.  There are a lot of hurting people: those who lost someone during the holidays, those are currently losing someone, financial hardships, family relationships.  The list of hurts can go on and on.  Our heart goes out to all who are heartbroken.  

In the midst of a sad heart, we can--and should--still make memories that matter and bring joy. Reclaim the holidays and declare them your tools to celebrate the blessings in your life--your kids, your faith, your hope. You can use our Christmas Guide to find the perfect idea for your heart and your family: https://www.familyfuntwincities.com/christmas-fun-twin-cities-family/


This weekend has some great Santa events.  If you missed Santa on WCCO, you can catch it here: http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/video/3775834-its-santa-on-our-set/

Still looking for teacher gifts?  Here is a special for FFTC Readers from GoodKids that is perfect for teachers. They are offering $5 off the TreeMendous Ornament Maker for FFTC Readers who mention the special! (FYI--I looked for this on Amazon, and GoodKids is cheaper --I believe -- and you are supporting a local business) Learn about it on this segment from WCCO: http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/video/3775827-get-movin-monday-affordable-holiday-gift-ideas/
