Christmas Packages

Marilyn, I'm not sure about dry ice and haven't really used it, but I'd think it would work OK. Then, you have to worry if they have freezer space once they get it home. Three of mine have stand-alone freezers and always have room. The single daughter only has her frig/freezer, so we assigned one shelf in one of our freezers to her and she'd take stuff each time she came by.

That's a really good idea. I'll have to think about that for my kids. It would sure be different. I bet that your children really appreciate it.

They seemed to like it. My Hubby loves to cook, so he made a few individual things that were favorites to each kid. I make a fast and easy enchilada that they all seem to like and they can be frozen.

I really like this idea more and more. So much better than a trinket gift and much more affordable. Plus I like that there is more thought and time put into it.

Remember when work places gave out turkeys and hams for holidays? I miss those days!

[Janet]

Oh yes...I remember. It's been so long since that has happened for us, I had forgotten all about it. No ham/turkey's or bonuses anymore.

That is a great gift idea. My aunt gave me a carton of canned goods when I got my first apartment. I really appreciated that.

My first MIL used to make prepackaged meals for me and Jessica. Every month we
would go to visit her and she would pack up 10 - 12 frozen meals. It was so thoughtful because I had very little money, and took a lot of time and thought.

When my dad owned my company he would give every employee a $50 meijer gift card as a christmas bonus, I believe last year it was even more than $50. But now that we were bought out by someone else I doubt we'll get it this year.
