Oh not me -- I thought last Christmas was the best ever, but this one certainly surpassed it! First of all, we sat down as a family back in September and TOGETHER decided to cut way back. In fact, we drew names and that was the family member we bought or made a gift for. We chose to do stocking stuffers and that was so much fun. It was wonderful - it helped us take our eyes of the commercialism and actually enjoy the season. Secondly, it was our first Christmas as grandparents -- our 11 month old grandson was exempt for the name drawing but we kept the buying to a minimum.
It was a wonderful season to concentrate on the real meaning of the season! Joy to the World, the Lord has come!
