Count me in. I've really stopped putting up the big tree and all the other stuff since my boys flew the nest and have their own families and traditions in other states. I have a 3 foot artificial topiary that I hang the annual ornament that I get from St. Judes and that topiary has made a hope in the corner where it resides.
Although we have a small family, my boys have more in-laws than my DIL has, so this is the year that Mom announced a new Holiday tradition...gifts only to the grandchildren. (If they insist on giving me gift certificates to the LQS that's their choice and who am I to make them feel bad by refusing any? ;-)
Seriously, I have more than I will ever use, so I'm happy.
