In 2014, I was getting ready to start my holiday shopping when a message from my sister, Amy, completely changed my attitude towards Christmas and end-of-year shopping.
Amy sent me a simple message, “This year I am celebrating the $20 Christmas”
I eventually joined her in the celebration.
What is the $20 Christmas?
What does it mean?
Why did Amy change the way she gave gifts?
What was so appealing about the $20 Christmas that urged me, and many others, to follow her?
This is the story of our small, yet profound, change in our lives.
