I'm not in the giving spirit either this year.


I'm feeling very scrooge-like, especially today for some reason!

Hey Sofia!


I'm glad Michael is feeling better!


Although it might be good for him to be sick, so he can slow down a little and get some rest!

Mine and DH's families are so big, that gift-giving is a major ordeal

Thankfully, in DH's family, we do a "Pollyanna" thing for the adults, where we pick names anonymously on Thanksgiving

It doesn't include all the kids, and my FIL is exempt

We all buy gifts for him

My family is another story

I have to buy for *everyone* in my family!!

Ya know, I would be fine exchanging very little with my DH on Christmas

Maybe just some little trinket and a card

But no matter what I say, he goes ALL OUT for me, and that makes me feel obligated to do the same for him, even though he tells me not to

And I'm always stuck trying to figure out what to get him, since he leaves me clueless

The other day I asked him what he wanted and he said "You" LOL!

Then this morning on the phone, I asked him again, and he said "Sleep"

I can't win. . .

I got my DH a digital photo frame last year

He put it in his private office at the hospital

How sad about your step-mom's son :(

I can't imagine losing a child

luckily we really don't exchange with DH's family at all, we just get something for his dad and step-mom.

DYK -


that's what we do...


Each adult couple will pick another couple and each cousin will pick a cousin.

You think that's bad?

My mom thinks because Michael makes more money than my BILs, we should buy her twice as many gifts, or a gift that is twice as expensive

(Never mind the fact that we have the most kids, and Michael has a bigger family than my BILs)

She's never said this to our faces, but I've heard it through the Greek Grape Vine, LOL

When my MIL was alive, she used to compare the gift we gave her with the gift we gave my MIL

Somehow, she would find out what we gave my MIL, and I have no idea how, because I never told her!

My mom is a nut!!
