Smile CHRISTMAS IOU's

The today's society the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of Jesus.
I remember a simpler time when you could make a batch of cookies and put it in a tin and give as a present. Or the person would pass on a piece of jewelry.

Today Christmas is commercialized. A child sees something on TV. I want that and I want that. The IOU'S are good Dec 25, 2009 until Dec 24, 2010.

If your short cash or on a fixed income give Christmas IOU's. The following are some ideas for IOU's:
Good for one free babysitting
Good for one cup of coffee at a local coffee shop
Good for $1.00 towards bus fare
Good for doing one load of laundry

Remember, you don't have to spend alot of money for Christmas.

Bring back the true spirit of gift giving at Christmas.

To everyone have a blessed and Happy Holiday Season!

Great idea - I really like the idea of giving something that is useful/meaningful to the recipient.

It's a shame that one of the biggest stresses at Christmas time is: 'what present should I give' - it seems everybody has just about everything they could possibly need, and then anything new they get is unlikely to make a big difference to them.

But your IOUs are a great idea - and I especially like the ones where you are giving the recipient a gift of your time.
