We'd have mom or dad help us melt down the crayons on the stove, throwing in every color of the rainbow.
Then we'd carefully pour the melted wax into old cardboard milk cartons.

In 1969, when he was 16 years old, Mike melted down his old crayons to make his mom a candle for Christmas.
His neighbor liked it so well, that she bought it from him.

Often we try to out do each other with lavish parties and expensive gifts. Stop and remember for a second what was important from your own childhood. Was it an outing? Baking cookies with your grandmother? Building a snowman with your dad? We need to connect.
This doesn't require more time, just shifting the focus of the time we already have. Here, a casual party and a very simple activity were the catalyst that brought everyone together.To get the entire neighborhood into the Christmas spirit we planned a caroling party. The day before our guests arrived, my kids and I spent an afternoon making decorative candleholders to give to each caroler, to light the way for our caroling expedition.

As a young mother, author Louise Bergmann DuMont was disheartened every time she encountered the neighborhood Super-Mom. It was obvious that word ?perfect' in no way described her own life and mothering skills. In Faith-Dipped Chocolate: Rich Encouragement to Sweeten Your Day, Louise exposes the sweet bits of wit and wisdom that grew from her personal foibles and failures.
