I don't give Christmas presents anymore

Well, that isn’t quite so.. There are twofamilies who still do the gifts. The restof my family, has honored our wish.I have been telling my children to spendtheir money on the grandkids, and nowgreat grandchildren. As each person has become myfriend in the past 5 years or so, I have insisted,on cards only. And this has worked.There is a few who will give homemade foodsto us, which is ok… like jelly etc. And wehave done the same. But 99% it is cards onlywhich suits us fine.I give birthday presents to very few.Kind of on the same idea. It isn’t that Ihate giving gifts… I just not crazy aboutthe commercialism of the holidays. Andthe frenzy of trying to top the other, with thebest or most expensive one. I guess becauseI am not competitive. I see no good in toppingthe other person.I give gifts for NO REASON DAY… which Idecide what day that is. I see something and thinkof someone special in my life who would like that.So I buy it and gift it to them. It comes from theheart. Sometimes, I get funny things to makesomeone laugh, when they are having a bad day. Guess I qualify for a bah-humbug person for theholidays, right??
