How do I get through the Christmas Season? Every year, I wish part of it would just go away. I keep trying to scale down and others are just wanting to 'ramp' it up!!! Eldersis and I had parents who died at Thanksgiving and Christmas time; her DH died a little before (Oct.' 01), if I remember correctly. Our families understand, and they too, are trying to scale it down. Our neighbors, on the other hand, are coming and bringing gifts, which I wasn't expecting. I don't know what to do; this is putting me under so much stress that it just isn't funny. A neighbor, who hasn't come forward with a gift before, has called and left a message on our answering machine that she will send her son to leave something for us. How do I put a stop to this? I was hoping that I wouldn't have to worry about presents for anyone except our nephew and niece who will come to visit us from TX. What do I do? If I come up with a gift for them, that will just prolong the agony. If I don't have a gift for them, are we just cheapskates?
Does anyone have any suggestions???
Everyone just meet me at the sink! There is something here for you. Cal, I know you'll have a good 'stiff one' with me.

I'm tired nearly to death; we've been blowing leaves that are still rather wet at the bottom layer.
