well summed up!

I think our best family christmas was staying up till 3 am and wrapping gifts for the sally ann. we were with friends and all enjoyed ourselves. sadly neither my or dh's family do volenteer work...never have.
i have't bought one gift this year yet. i will get the boys something. I have no idea about the grandkids ...what to get or if we will see them. it is all a big money grab.
next year there will not be gifts for anyone but grandkids and each other. i think we have done them so long because thomas is home, aj has a brain injury and would be hurt without a gift, and arliss could use some christmas hope...as he waits for heart surgery. It has come time to draw the line though. money is not come by easy enough to be a i can out buy you game. It really tick me that we are told on grant side what to give for money toward the gift.
time to celebrate the reason for the season...not the finances!

you know last year...before the resession thing kicked in ...we planned on getting a cabin for christmas and just getting away from it ll. well that didn't happen.
this was all dumped on us last night during criminal minds...so we need to talk it out again.
i think grant agrees it is all not worth it!
