We are a close homeschooling family, and we do emphasize books, games, crafts, outdoor activities, etc. But the tv, internet, e-mailing, texting, Facebook--it can all become addictive to everyone in the house, especially teens. We realized we'd all been spending too much time with technology, so now we've turned the computer off totally on Sunday and two other days of the week, too, and the tv-sports-watching-addicted hubby is trying to cut back, too. The result--we interact more. I'm thinking of cancelling the unlimited texting on our cell phone--too expensive and silly--now teens don't even talk to each other, they just text. Just some observations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988038742290211174.post-64831457256370417942008-12-07T23:36:00.000-06:002008-12-07T23:36:00.000-06:00THANK YOU!Huh...

The real Christmas gift is their friendship and love to all of you (not the wii!)and the best gift you can give to them is to receive it in the spirit given. Now friends can come to your house to play (sharing) and maybe trading games (more sharing)and earning money to buy more accessories (more learning), and the memory of friends who care as you have fun with your family and friends because of the gift(priceless)! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
