We have countless Christmas customs to celebrate the occasion - with food, feasting, and festivals fare. Christian, traditional, or familial - we all have our special triggers, practices, and customs that enliven our celebrations.

all I want for Christmas

With the holidays upon us it is challenging to not get swept away in the flurry of spending in both effort and expense. 

How to keep the season's cheer without turning into Scrooge and how to keep the spirit of 
giving  alive and well without going broke or berserk. 

At wonder | wander | world we encourage an appreciation for the true power of capacity building gift giving.
