If so, tell me what kind? If not, tell me why. THANKS!
--------------------
To be honest YES, I would love to get a food basket at X-mas. Maybe it's just me, or the way I was brought up, but something homemade, that someone has put their heart, time and energy into is to be appreciated even more than a store bought gift. Thank-you for reminding me of the wonderful memories I have of my grandmas rhubarb and ginger jam. I loved having that on my toast every morning. I wish that I would have got some of her recipes while she was still alive. It's something to think about. I have grandchildren who have no idea what I can cook, and I wouldn't dare show up with a box of chocolate fudge for them. It wouldn't be enough, and I'd be laughed at. It's really quite ashame that all the old values have died.When's the last time your grandma knitted you your hats and mitts to go to school in the winter, or a nice sweater to keep you warm. I'm not critisizing, but you wouldn't wear it, because its not the right colour or the right style. I understand that, but it is such a shame. I would love someone to make me some cookies, banana bread, lemon bread, fudge, a small cheese cake, or chocolate cake just for me. Anything that I don't have to buy if a gift for me. A package of spaghetti with homemade spaghetti sauce, a small lasagna that I could put in the oven when I come home from shopping, something that says you've thought about the gift and you've put some of yourself into it.. Something that says, geez, this person thought enough of me to make this with her hands and her heart. This is just a thought of a person who appreciates the small things in life, but the things that are most important.
