It's a But Not All At Once gift guide - of sorts. No swipe-ups, commissions or kickbacks, and no deep theological dives into the meaning of Christmas. This is more about getting by so you can really get INTO the holiday.

How long should our lists be? What great ideas can you steal for your mother-in-law, your best friend, or (even harder) your best friend's kid? How do other families exchange gifts - or not?

What means more than spending money on a gift? Are gift cards tacky? How can we shop local if we can't always shop local? How can we cut down on the "junk" in our lives and still have something to unwrap under the tree?

Let's chat about it! Can't wait to hear your best ideas and traditions at @butnotallatonce on Instagram or butnotallatonce@gmail.com.

Merry (almost) Christmas! Here's getting your heart right, keeping it simple and using your words. xoxo
