If it weren't for the kids and grandkids all coming home for a week at Christmas, we probably wouldn't even decorate. I don't mind decorating, it is the clean up and putting away afterwards that depresses me. We have continued to cut down each year on what we put out for Christmas and also what we are buying for the family. I would love to just give the kids (adults) money but DH doesn't want to start that yet. We would always give the little ones presents to open because after all Santa has to come to our house since they are here for Christmas morning. I am already stressing because I haven't even started decorating since I have been sick. Oh well what doesn't get done, won't be earth shattering. Being together is all that is important.
